عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِيَّاكُمْ وَالظُّلْمَ فَإِنَّ الظُّلْمَ ظُلُمَاتٌ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالْفُحْشَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْفُحْشَ وَالتَّفَحُّشَ وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالشُّحَّ فَإِنَّهُ دَعَا مَنْ قَبْلَكُمْ فَاسْتَحَلُّوا مَحَارِمَهُمْ وَسَفَكُوا دِمَاءَهُمْ وَقَطَعُوا أَرْحَامَهُمْ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Beware of oppression! For oppression will be (many) darknesses on the Day of Resurrection. Avoid foul speech, for indeed Allah Almighty does not like abusive and obscene language. And beware of intense love for wealth! For this very thing incited those before you to such an extent that they considered the forbidden as lawful, shed blood, and severed ties of kinship.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … An act of oppression committed in this world will become the cause of many darknesses on the Day of Resurrection. For example, if a person commits treachery regarding a cow, he will come to the Plain of Gathering carrying that cow on his shoulders, while the cow will be mooing. The same applies to every animal and other acts of treachery. To place something out of its proper time or place is called oppression (zulm); in this regard, committing evil deeds and being negligent in the fulfillment of obligatory duties (fara'id) and necessary acts (wajibat) is also oppression.
Traits such as miserliness, stinginess, and greed are sufficient to render a person base. A miserly person becomes hard-hearted, becomes indifferent to the happiness and sorrow of others, and in order to save or increase his wealth, he becomes ready to resort to actions such as murder and bloodshed. While seeking concessions in the Shari‘ah, he begins to transgress the limits set by Allah Ta‘ala.
Intense love of wealth is called shuhh. When the love of the world and its possessions exceeds all bounds and becomes intense in a person’s heart, then such a person no longer distinguishes between the lawful (halal) and the unlawful (haram), nor does he refrain from shedding the blood of others. This is the current state of our society, and this condition is a sign that there is no guarantee for the survival of such a society; sooner or later, it will inevitably be faced with destruction.
