The Dangers of Oppression and Stinginess

SUMMARY: This hadith warns against oppression and stinginess, as it can lead to destruction and unlawful acts.

Jabir bin 'Abdullah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah said, "Beware of oppression, for oppression will be darkness on the Day of Resurrection; and beware of stinginess because it destroyed those who were before you. It incited them to shed their blood and deem unlawful as lawful". Muslim.
وعن جابر رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله قال‏:‏ اتقوا الظلم فإن الظلم ظلمات يوم القيامة واتقوا الشح فإن الشح أهلك من كان قبلكم حملهم على أن سفكوا دماءهم واستحلوا محارمهم” ‏(‏‏(‏رواه مسلم‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

QUICK LESSONS:
Avoid oppression and stinginess in our daily lives.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith warns us against two dangerous behaviors - oppression and stinginess. Oppression is when someone uses their power or authority to hurt or take advantage of someone else, while stinginess is when someone refuses to share what they have with others. Both of these behaviors can lead to destruction, as well as making things that are forbidden by Allah permissible. On the Day of Resurrection, those who have committed these sins will be in darkness. Therefore, we should strive to avoid them in our daily lives so that we may be successful on the Day of Judgment.
