English translation

3474. It was narrated from Waki' (he said): "Al-A'mash narrated to us, from Abū Sālih, from Abū Hurairah who said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'There are three to whom Allāh will not speak on the Day of Resurrection: A man who has surplus water, and he withholds it from a wayfarer, a man who swears – meaning falsely – in order to sell his goods after 'Aṣr, and a man who swears allegiance to a ruler and if he gives him something he remains loyal but if he does not give him anything, he does not remain loyal to him.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)

3474 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «ثَلَاثَةٌ لَا يُكَلِّمُهُمُ اللَّهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، رَجُلٌ مَنَعَ ابْنَ السَّبِيلِ فَضْلَ مَاءٍ عِنْدَهُ، وَرَجُلٌ حَلَفَ عَلَى سِلْعَةٍ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ يَعْنِي كَاذِبًا، وَرَجُلٌ بَايَعَ إِمَامًا فَإِنْ أَعْطَاهُ وَفَى لَهُ، وَإِنْ لَمْ يُعْطِهِ لَمْ يَفِ لَهُ»،

Commentary

Swearing (by the seller) may persuade the buyer to purchase the goods, but he will be deprived of Allāh's blessings (Al-Bukhārī no. 2087 and Muslim 4125).
