حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى ثَلاَثَةٌ أَنَا خَصْمُهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ رَجُلٌ أَعْطَى بِي ثُمَّ غَدَرَ، وَرَجُلٌ بَاعَ حُرًّا فَأَكَلَ ثَمَنَهُ، وَرَجُلٌ اسْتَأْجَرَ أَجِيرًا فَاسْتَوْفَى مِنْهُ وَلَمْ يُعْطِهِ أَجْرَهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is narrated by Abu Huraira and it talks about how Allah will be an opponent to three types of people on the Day of Resurrection. The first type are those who make a covenant in His Name but prove treacherous. This means that if someone makes a promise or agreement with another person in the name of Allah, they should keep their word and not break it. The second type are those who sell a free person and eat his price. This means that no one should buy or sell another human being as if they were an object or commodity; everyone has rights and must be respected as such. Lastly, the third type are those who employ a laborer but do not pay him for his labor; this is exploitation which is also wrong according to this hadith. All these actions go against Islamic teachings and values so we must strive to avoid them at all costs in order to please Allah on the Day of Judgment.
