Translation: I am referring here to the verses (1-6) of the Qur'anic chapter entitled Al-Motaffifeen (those who give less in measure and weight) because some people look down this sin. They say that it is a trifling thing that can be tolerated. They lie, for justice on the Day of Judgment will be the true justice. On that Day, even a hornless ewe will be requited from the horned one, so you should consider the matter seriously. This is what is implicitly understood from the concluding verses (38-40) of the chapter titled An-Naba ', (The Serious News). Allah says
Translation: " The Day when Al-Rooh (Gabriel or another angel) and the angels will stand forth in rows they will not speak, except him whom the Most Gracious (Allah) allows (to speak), and he will speak what is right. * That is without doubt the True Day. So, whosoever wills, let him seek a place with (or a way to) His Lord (by obeying Him in this worldly life)! * Verily, We have warned you of a near torment-the Day when man will see that (the deeds) which his hands have sent forth, and the disbeliever will say: " Woe to me! Would that I was dust! * "
عن عبد اللَّهُ ) . بن ر عمرو ، ، قال : إذا كان يوم القيامة ، مدّ الأديم ، وحشر الدواب والبهائم والوحش ، ثُمََّّ يحصل القصاص بين الدواب ، يقتص للشاة الجَمَاء من
الشاة القرناء نَطْحَتها ، فإذا فرغ من القصاص بين الدواب ، قال لها : كوني ترابا ، قال : فعند ذلك يقول الكافر : يا ليتني كنت ترابا
Translation: Explaining these verses, Abdullah ibn Amr said: ' On the Day of Judgment the earth will be stretched and the beasts will be mustered. Then, the retribution between the beasts will start and the horned ewe will be requited for the hormless one. When this is done, Allah will say to them: " Be dust. " At that time the unbeliever will wish that he had been dust. '
Translation: The following Hadith confirm this opinion:
Translation: Narrated Abu-Huraira: ' The Messenger of Allah said: " You will give back the due rights to their rightful owners until the horned ewe is retaliated by the hornless one. " " (Termizi)
Translation: " Woe to Al-Motaffifeen (those who give less in measure and weight), * Those who when they have to receive by measure from men demand full measure, And when they have to give by measure or weight to (other) men give less than is due. Do they not think that they will be resurrected (for reckoning) * On a Great Day, * The Day when (all) mankind will stand before the Lord of all that exists? * " (83: 1-6)
Translation: The Messenger of Allah said: " Allah said: ' O My servants! I did forbid injustice to Myself, and made it forbidden among you, so do not do wrong to one another. O My servants! All of you are misguided except whom I guide, so ask Me guidance that I would guide you. O My servants! All of you are hungry except whom I fed, so ask Me to feed you that I would feed you. O My servants! All of you are naked except whom I clothed, so ask Me to clothe you that I would clothe you. O My servants! You have sins by night and day and I forgive all sins, so ask Me to forgive your sins that I would forgive you. O My servants! You shall never reach harming Me and you will never harm Me and you shall never reach benefiting Me and you will never benefit Me. O My servant! If the first of you and the last of you, the humans of you, and the jinn of you were having the most pious heart of one of you, this shall never increase aught in My Kingdom. O My servant! If the first of you and the last of you, the humans of you, and the jinn of you were having the most evil heart of one of you, this shall never decrease aught in My Kingdom. O My servant! If the first of you and the last of you, the humans of you and the jinn of you were to gather in one plain and each one asked Me his request and I gave each one of you what he has asked, this does not decrease My Kingdom except what the needle takes if it was inserted in the sea. " " (Muslim)
Translation: " And warn them (O Muhammad!) of the Day that is drawing near (i.e. the Day of Resurrection), when the hearts will be choking the throats, and they can neither return them (hearts) to their chests nor can they throw them out. There will be no friend or intercessor for the wrongdoers (the polytheists and unbelievers) who could be given heed to. * 33 (40: 18) And
Translation: " And they worship besides Allah others for which Allah has sent down no authority, and of which they have no knowledge, and for the wrong-doers (the polytheists and disbelievers) in the Oneness of Allah) there is no helper. * " (22: 71)
Translation: 141. Abu-Salama narrated that there was a dispute between him and some people (about a piece of land). When he told A'isha about it, she said: " O Abu-Salama! Avoid taking the land unjustly, for the Prophet said: ' Whoever usurps even a hand span of somebody's land, his neck will be encircled with the seven earths. " (Bukhari)
Translation: 142. Narrated Ibn Abbas: When the Messenger of Allah sent Mo'az ibn Jabal to Yemen he said to him: " And fear the oppressed one's invocation to Allah, for there is no screen between it and Allah. " (Termizi)
Translation: 143. Narrated Abu-Homayd Al-Sa'adi: ' Allah's Messenger employed an employee (to collect Zakat). The employee returned after completing his job and said: " O Allah's Messenger! This (the amount of Zakat) is for you, and this (the other amount) was given to me as a present. " The Prophet said to him: " Why didn't you stay at your father's or mother's house and see if you would be given presents or not? " Then Allah's Messenger got up in the evening after the prayer, and having testified that La ilaha illa Allah (None has the right to be worshipped but Allah) and praised and glorified Allah as He deserved, he said: " Now! What about an employee whom we employ and then he comes and says: ' This amount (of Zakat) is for you and this (amount)
Translation: was given to me as a present. ' Why didn't he stay at the house of his father and mother to see if he would be given presents or not? By Him in Whose Hand Muhammad's soul is, none of you will steal anything of it (Zakat), but he will bring it forth, carrying it over his neck on the Day of Resurrection. If it was a camel, he will bring it (over his neck) and it will be grunting; and if it was a sheep, he will bring it (over his neck) and it will be bleating. " The Prophet added: " I have conveyed (Allah's Message to you). " Abu-Homayd said: ' Then Allah's Messenger raised his hands so high that we saw the whiteness of his armpits. " (Bukhari)
Translation: 144. Narrated Abu-Huraira: Allah's Messenger said: " Whoever has oppressed another person concerning his reputation or anything else, he should beg him to forgive him before the Day of Resurrection when there will be no money (to compensate for wrong deeds), but if he has good deeds, those good deeds will be taken from him proportionally to the oppression that he has done, and if he has no good deeds, the sins of the oppressed person will be added to his record. " " (Bukhari)
Translation: 145. Narrated Abu-Bakra: ' The Prophet said: " Time has taken the original shape that it had when Allah created the heavens and the earth. The year has twelve months, four of which are inviolable, and out of these three months are in succession, i.e. Zol-Qa'ada, Zol-Hijja and Al- Moharram, and the fourth is the month of Rajab which is named after the Modhar tribe, between (the month of) Jomada the Second and Sha'aban. " Then the Prophet asked: " Which month is this? We said: " Allah and His Messenger know best. " At that the Prophet kept silent so long that we thought that he might give it another name. Then the Prophet said: " Isn't it the month of Zol-Hijja? " We replied: " Yes. " Then he said: " Which town is this? " We replied: " Allah and His Messenger know best. " At that he kept silent so long that we thought that he might give it another name. Then, he said: “ Isn't it the town of Mecca? " We replied: " Yes. " Then he said: " Which day is today? " We replied: " Allah and His Messenger know best. " He kept silent so long that we thought that he might give it another name. Then he said: " Isn't it the day of
Translation: Al-Nahr (the day of offering sacrifices)? " We replied: " Yes. " He said: “ So your blood, your property, and your honor are all inviolable to one another like the inviolability of this day of yours, in this town of yours, in this month of yours, and surely, you will meet your Lord, and He will ask you about your deeds. Beware! Do not become like those who went astray (as non-believers) after me, cutting the necks of one another. It is incumbent on those who are present to convey this message (of mine) to those who are absent. May be that some of those to whom it will be conveyed might comprehend (what I have said) better than those present. " The Prophet then added twice: " No doubt! Haven't I conveyed (Allah's Message) to you? " " (Bukhari)
