Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 28307 — Reports on avarice

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Beware of greed, for it destroyed those before you: it urged them to sever the ties of kinship, so they severed them; it urged them to miserliness, so they were miserly; and it urged them to immorality, so they committed immorality."
