2324. Abu Umâmah Al-Hârithi narrated that he heard the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ say: "No man seizes the wealth of a Muslim unlawfully by means of his (false) oath, but Allâh will deny Paradise to him and will doom him to Hell." A man among the people said: "O Messenger of Allâh, even if it is something small?" He said: "Even if it is a twig of an Arâk tree." (Sahih)

Arabic text

2324 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَخَاهُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ كَعْبٍ، أَنَّ أَبَا أُمَامَةَ الْحَارِثِيَّ حَدَّثَهُ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: «لَا يَقْتَطِعُ رَجُلٌ حَقَّ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ بِيَمِينِهِ، إِلَّا حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ الْجَنَّةَ، وَأَوْجَبَ لَهُ النَّارَ» ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَإِنْ كَانَ شَيْئًا يَسِيرًا؟ قَالَ: «وَإِنْ كَانَ سِوَاكًا مِنْ أَرَاكٍ»

Commentary

The fulfillment of human rights is also obligatory along with the fulfillment of the Rights of Allâh. Alongside Shirk (associating partners with Allâh) there are other sins for which Hell is prescribed for the perpetrator. He may be released after bearing sufficient punishment; and if he has good deeds greater than the sin, he may be delivered because of it. Allâh may also forgive him with His special kindness. But the punishment for major Shirk and other such blasphemous deeds that brand one out of the fold of Islam is everlasting.
