The Curse of Bribery

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) cursed those who give and take bribes.

'Abdullah bin 'Amr narrated: "The Messenger of Allah cursed the one who bribes and the one who takes a bribe".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُوسَى، مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ الْعَقَدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ، عَنْ خَالِهِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ لَعَنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ الرَّاشِي وَالْمُرْتَشِي ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ

QUICK LESSONS:
Do not engage in bribery .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's condemnation of bribery. He cursed those who give and take bribes, which means that he disapproved of it very strongly. Bribery is when someone gives or receives something in exchange for a favor or to influence a decision, usually in an unethical way. It is considered wrong because it can lead to unfairness and injustice, as people with more money can buy favors that they don't deserve while people with less money are left out. This hadith teaches us that we should not engage in bribery as it goes against the teachings of Islam and will bring Allah's curse upon us if we do so. We should instead strive for fairness and justice in all our dealings with others, no matter how small or insignificant they may seem at first glance.
