Sunan an-Nasai 4462 (Book 44, Hadith 14) #18995
The Unforgivable Sins of Deception

SUMMARY: Allah will not speak to, look at, or sanctify those who withhold water from travelers, swear allegiance to an imam for worldly gains and deceive others in business.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah said: "There are three to whom Allah will not speak on the Day of Resurrection, or will He look at them, or sanctify them and theirs will be a painful torment: A man who has surplus water when traveling but he withholds it form a wayfarer; a man who swears allegiance to an imam for worldly gains, and if he gives him what he wants he is loyal to him but if he does not give him anything he is not loyal to him: and a man who sells a man his product after 'Asr, swerving by Allah that he bought it for such and such a price, and the other believes him".
أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ ثَلاَثَةٌ لاَ يُكَلِّمُهُمُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَلاَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَلاَ يُزَكِّيهِمْ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ رَجُلٌ عَلَى فَضْلِ مَاءٍ بِالطَّرِيقِ يَمْنَعُ ابْنَ السَّبِيلِ مِنْهُ وَرَجُلٌ بَايَعَ إِمَامًا لِدُنْيَا إِنْ أَعْطَاهُ مَا يُرِيدُ وَفَّى لَهُ وَإِنْ لَمْ يُعْطِهِ لَمْ يَفِ لَهُ وَرَجُلٌ سَاوَمَ رَجُلاً عَلَى سِلْعَةٍ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ فَحَلَفَ لَهُ بِاللَّهِ لَقَدْ أُعْطِيَ بِهَا كَذَا وَكَذَا فَصَدَّقَهُ الآخَرُ

QUICK LESSONS:

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith warns us against three major sins that will lead to a painful punishment on the Day of Resurrection. The first sin is withholding water from travelers when one has surplus water. Travelers are often in need of resources such as food and water during their journey and it is important that we provide them with what they need if we have the means to do so. The second sin is swearing allegiance to an imam for worldly gains instead of out of loyalty and faithfulness. We should be loyal to our leaders out of respect for their position rather than expecting something in return from them. Lastly, the third sin mentioned is deceiving people in business by lying about prices or quality of goods being sold after ‘Asr prayer time. We should always be honest with our customers when conducting business transactions so as not to mislead them into buying something they would not have otherwise bought had they known the truth about it beforehand.
