Treachery in safe conduct

It is narrated from Sulaym that there was a ceasefire treaty between Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) and the Romans. Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) advanced toward their territory so that when the term of the treaty ended he could launch a surprise attack on them. Suddenly, from one side of the army, a man came saying: "Wafa' la ghadr: fulfil the covenant and do not betray." He was Sayyiduna Amr bin Abasah (may Allah be pleased with him). He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever has a treaty with a people, let him neither tie its knot nor untie it until the appointed term has fully passed, or let him throw their treaty back to them on equal terms and so end it."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When Allah Almighty gathers the first and the last on the Day of Resurrection, a banner will be raised for every betrayer, and it will be said: 'This is the betrayal of so-and-so, son of so-and-so.'"

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Every betrayer will have a banner on the Day of Resurrection by which he will be recognized."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Every betrayer will have a banner on the Day of Resurrection by which he will be recognized, and it will be said: 'This is the betrayal of so-and-so, son of so-and-so.'"

Something similar is reported from Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Every betrayer (one who breaks a treaty) will have a banner on the Day of Resurrection, and his betrayal will be at his backside."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Every betrayer will have a banner on the Day of Resurrection."

Something similar is also reported from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him).

Qatadah (may Allah have mercy on him) said regarding the verse of the Noble Qur'an "every treacherous, ungrateful one" [Luqman: 32]: This refers to the one who breaks his covenant.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Every betrayer will have a banner on the Day of Resurrection by which he will be recognized."
