Jabir bin `Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them) reported: the Messenger of Allah (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
Ward off oppression, as it will be darkness on the Day of Resurrection, and give up miserliness as it was a cause of perishing of those who lived before you; it drove them to shed each others' blood and breach each others' sanctity.
(Reported by Muslim)




Lessons Deduced:
- Injustice and miserliness should be avoided, justice and generosity should be encouraged.
- Injustice is one of the grievous sins which incurs severe punishment on the Day of Judgment.
- Avariciously seeking worldly pleasures leads to many sins and evil doing.
