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)
