Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: When dishonesty becomes widespread among a people, Allah casts fear into their hearts; when adultery spreads among a people, deaths increase among them; when a people cheat in weights and measures, their sustenance is withheld; when a people begin to make unjust decisions, widespread killing occurs among them; and when a people break their covenants, enemies are set over them. Its chain is weak. Narrated by Malik.
