Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 3340 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Beware

حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرٌ ، قَالَ : نَا مُحَمَّدٌ ، قَالَ : نَا أَبُو مُطِيعٍ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ ، عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِيَّاكُمْ وَالظُّلْمَ ، فَإِنَّ الظُّلْمَ ظُلُمَاتٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ، وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالشُّحَّ ، فَإِنَّهُ أَهْلَكَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ ، أَمَرَهُمْ بِالْقَطِيعَةِ فَقَطَعُوا أَرْحَامَهُمْ ، وَأَمَرَهُمْ بِسَفْكِ الدِّمَاءِ فَسَفَكُوا دِمَاءَهُمْ I " .
فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَيُّ الْإِسْلَامِ أَفْضَلُ ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : I " إِنَّ أَفْضَلَ الْإِسْلَامِ : مَنْ سَلِمَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مِنْ لِسَانِهِ وَيَدِهِ I " .
لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ إِلَّا سَعِيدٌ ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ : أَبُو مُطِيعٍ ، لَا يُرْوَى عَنْ مُعَاذٍ إِلَّا بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Beware of oppression, for oppression will be many layers of darkness on the Day of Resurrection; and beware of stinginess and greed, for it destroyed those who were before you: it commanded them to sever ties of kinship, so they severed their ties; and it commanded them to shed blood, so they shed one another's blood."
Then a man stood up and said: "O Messenger of Allah, which deed in Islam is the most excellent?" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The most excellent in Islam is the one from whose tongue and hand the Muslims are safe."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Qatadah (may Allah have mercy on him) except Sa'id; Abu Muti' is alone in narrating it, and this hadith is narrated from Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) only with this chain."
