Sahih Muslim 2613b (Book 45, Hadith 155) #13733
Oppression Will Not Go Unpunished

SUMMARY: Allah will punish those who oppress people in the world.

Hisham reported on the authority of his father that Hisham b. Hakim b. Hizam happened to pass by people, the farmers of Syria, who had been made to stand in the sun. He said: What is the matter with them? They said: They have been detained for Jizya. Thereupon Hisham said: I bear testimony to the fact that I heard Allah's Messenger as saying: Allah would torment those who torment people in the world.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ مَرَّ هِشَامُ بْنُ حَكِيمِ بْنِ حِزَامٍ عَلَى أُنَاسٍ مِنَ الأَنْبَاطِ بِالشَّامِ قَدْ أُقِيمُوا فِي الشَّمْسِ فَقَالَ مَا شَأْنُهُمْ قَالُوا حُبِسُوا فِي الْجِزْيَةِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ هِشَامٌ أَشْهَدُ لَسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُعَذِّبُ الَّذِينَ يُعَذِّبُونَ النَّاسَ فِي الدُّنْيَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how Allah will punish those who oppress people in the world. It was narrated by Hisham b. Hakim b. Hizam, who happened to pass by some farmers of Syria who were made to stand in the sun and were detained for Jizya, a tax imposed on non-Muslims living under Muslim rule during that time period. Upon seeing this, he said that he heard Allah's Messenger say that Allah would torment those who torment people in the world, meaning that He would punish them for their oppression and injustice towards others. This hadith teaches us an important lesson about justice and fairness; it reminds us that no matter how powerful someone may be or how much they may think they can get away with oppressing others, ultimately they will be held accountable for their actions and punished accordingly by God Almighty Himself if they do not repent from their wrongdoings before it is too late.
