Sahih al-Bukhari 7446 (Book 97, Hadith 72) #7149
The Consequences of Dishonesty

SUMMARY: Allah will not speak to or look at those who take false oaths, grab property of a Muslim through it, and forbid others from using the remaining superfluous water.

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "(There are) three (types of persons to whom) Allah will neither speak to them on the Day of Resurrections, nor look at them (They are):--(1) a man who takes a false oath that he has been offered for a commodity a price greater than what he has actually been offered; II and a man who takes a false oath after the 'Asr (prayer) in order to grab the property of a Muslim through it; III and a man who forbids others to use the remaining superfluous water. To such a man Allah will say on the Day of Resurrection, 'Today I withhold My Blessings from you as you withheld the superfluous part of that (water) which your hands did not create'. "
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ ثَلاَثَةٌ لاَ يُكَلِّمُهُمُ اللَّهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَلاَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِمْ رَجُلٌ حَلَفَ عَلَى سِلْعَةٍ لَقَدْ أَعْطَى بِهَا أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا أَعْطَى وَهْوَ كَاذِبٌ، وَرَجُلٌ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ كَاذِبَةٍ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ لِيَقْتَطِعَ بِهَا مَالَ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ، وَرَجُلٌ مَنَعَ فَضْلَ مَاءٍ فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، الْيَوْمَ أَمْنَعُكَ فَضْلِي، كَمَا مَنَعْتَ فَضْلَ مَا لَمْ تَعْمَلْ يَدَاكَ

QUICK LESSONS:
Do not take false oaths; do not grab someone else's property by taking a false oath; do not forbid others from using superfluous water; be honest in all your dealings with people; respect other people's belongings; treat everyone with kindness and respect regardless if they have something you want or need.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the consequences of dishonesty. Allah will not speak to or look at those who take false oaths, grab property of a Muslim through it, and forbid others from using the remaining superfluous water. Taking a false oath means lying about something that has been offered for a commodity in order to get more money than what was actually offered. Grabbing someone else's property by taking a false oath after Asr prayer is also considered dishonest and forbidden in Islam. Lastly, forbidding others from using the remaining superfluous water is also considered wrong as this water does not belong to anyone but Allah himself. Therefore, these three acts are considered dishonest and will be punished on the Day of Resurrection when Allah withholds his blessings from them as they withheld something that their hands did not create.
