Jabir reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, "Beware of injustice. Injustice will appear as darkness
on the Day of Rising. Fear avarice. It destroyed those before you and caused
them to shed one another's blood and to make lawful what was unlawful."
Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "Beware of injustice. Injustice will appear as darkness
on the Day of Rising. Beware of coarseness. Allah does not love those who
are coarse and foul mouthed. Beware of avarice for it destroyed those before
you. They cut off their relatives. Allah summoned them and they made lawful
what was unlawful."
"Masruq and Shutayr ibn Shakal met in the mosque.
The people sitting in circles in the mosque moved towards them. Masruq
said, 'I can only think that these people are gathering around us in order
to hear good from us. If you relate from 'Abdullah, I will confirm you.
If I relate from 'Abdullah, you can confirm me.' He said, 'Abu 'A'isha,
relate!' He said, 'Did you hear 'Abdullah say, "The eyes commit fornication.
The hands commit fornication. The feet commit fornication, and then the
genitals either confirm or deny that?"' 'Yes,' he replied, 'I have heard
it.' He said, 'Did you hear 'Abdullah say, "There is no ayat in the Qur'an
which is greater in combining the halal and the haram and the command and the
prohibition than this ayat: 'Indeed Allah commands to justice and doing good and
giving to relatives' (16.90)?"' 'Yes,' he replied, 'I have heard it.' He
said, 'Did you hear 'Abdullah say, "There is no ayat in the Qur'an swifter
in bringing relief than His words, "Whoever has taqwa of Allah - He
will give him a way out" (65:2)?' 'Yes,' he replied, 'I have heard it.'
He said, 'Did you hear 'Abdullah say, "There is no ayat in the Qur'an stronger
in entrusting things to Allah than His words, "My slaves, you have transgressed
against yourselves, do not despair of the mercy of Allah" (39:53)?' 'Yes,'
he replied, 'I heard that.'"
Abu Sa'id reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, "When the believers are saved from the Fire,
they will be stopped on a bridge between the Garden and the Fire. They
were be interrogated concerning the injustices which occurred between them
in this world. When they have been cleansed and they have been disciplined,
then they will be given permission to enter the Garden. By the One who
holds the soul of Muhammad in His hand, one of them is better guided in
his position than he was in this world."
