3966 - حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْحَكَمِ السَّدُوسِيِّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شَهْرُ بْنُ حَوْشَبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «مِنْ شَرِّ النَّاسِ مَنْزِلَةً عِنْدَ اللَّهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، عَبْدٌ أَذْهَبَ آخِرَتَهُ بِدُنْيَا غَيْرِهِ»

Commentary
The Hadith proves that a person commits a sin to benefit his brother, friend, relative, wife or children such as telling lies, cheating, earning unlawful money etc. In this case, the sin lies on the earner and he will be punished in the Hereafter, while the others enjoy and benefit from its money. The same case is true in the matter of false oaths and causing harm to others.
