English translation

1698. 'Abdullāh bin 'Amr narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ once gave a sermon and said: "Beware of greed, for the people before you were destroyed due to greed. It (greed) commanded them to be miserly, so they became miserly, and it commanded them to break off (ties of kinship), so they broke them off, and it commanded them with evil, so they committed evil." (Sahīh)

Arabic text

1698 - حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ: خَطَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «إِيَّاكُمْ وَالشُّحَّ، فَإِنَّمَا هَلَكَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ بِالشُّحِّ، أَمَرَهُمْ بِالْبُخْلِ فَبَخِلُوا، وَأَمَرَهُمْ بِالْقَطِيعَةِ فَقَطَعُوا، وَأَمَرَهُمْ بِالْفُجُورِ فَفَجَرُوا»
