2358. Narrated Abū Hurairah رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "There are three types of people whom Allāh will neither look at them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will he purify them (from sins) and they shall have a painful torment. They are: 1. A man possessed superfluous water, on a way and he withheld it from travellers. 2. A man who gave a Bai'a (pledge) to a ruler and he gave it only for worldly benefits. If the ruler gives him something he gets satisfied, and if the ruler withholds something from him, he gets dissatisfied.3. And a man displayed his goods for sale after the Aṣr prayer (and took a false oath by) saying, 'By Allāh, except Whom none has the right to be worshipped, I have been given so much for my goods,' and somebody believes him (and buys them)." The Prophet ﷺ then recited: "Verily, those who purchase a small gain at the cost of Allāh's Covenant and their oaths..." (V.3:77)

2358 - حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا صَالِحٍ، يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " ثَلاَثَةٌ لاَ يَنْظُرُ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِمْ يَوْمَ القِيَامَةِ، وَلاَ يُزَكِّيهِمْ، وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ، رَجُلٌ كَانَ لَهُ فَضْلُ مَاءٍ بِالطَّرِيقِ، فَمَنَعَهُ مِنَ ابْنِ السَّبِيلِ، وَرَجُلٌ بَايَعَ إِمَامًا لاَ يُبَايِعُهُ إِلَّا لِدُنْيَا، فَإِنْ أَعْطَاهُ مِنْهَا رَضِيَ، وَإِنْ لَمْ يُعْطِهِ مِنْهَا سَخِطَ، وَرَجُلٌ أَقَامَ سِلْعَتَهُ بَعْدَ العَصْرِ، فَقَالَ: وَاللَّهِ الَّذِي لاَ إِلَهَ غَيْرُهُ لَقَدْ أَعْطَيْتُ بِهَا كَذَا وَكَذَا، فَصَدَّقَهُ رَجُلٌ " ثُمَّ قَرَأَ هَذِهِ الآيَةَ: {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا} [آل عمران: 77]
