Hadith 2511

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عُيَيْنَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَا مِنْ ذَنْبٍ أَجْدَرُ أَنْ يُعَجِّلَ اللَّهُ لِصَاحِبِهِ الْعُقُوبَةَ فِي الدُّنْيَا مَعَ مَا يَدَّخِرُ لَهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ مِنَ الْبَغْيِ وَقَطِيعَةِ الرَّحِمِ " , قَالَ : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ .
´Abu Bakrah narrated that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said:` "There is no sin more worthy of Allah hastening the punishment upon its practitioner in the world – along with what is in store for him in the Hereafter – than tyranny and severing the ties of kinship.” (Sahih)

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
The meaning is that rebellion and transgression (oppression and excess) and severing of kinship ties are two crimes such that, in addition to the punishment in the Hereafter, Allah Ta’ala generally gives their punishment quickly in this world as well.
Therefore, one should avoid severing kinship ties and also avoid oppression and transgression.

Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:

It is extremely necessary to avoid oppression and excess, because one of the important qualities of Islam is justice and mercy.


The punishment for oppression and mistreatment of relatives is given both in this world and in the Hereafter, whether the oppression is committed against a human being or an animal.
