No. 192
It is narrated o the authority of Abu Dharr that the Messenger of Allaah (may ace he upon him) observed: Three are the (persons) with whom Allaah would neither speak on the Day of Resurrection, nor would look at them nor would absolve the and there is a painful chastisement for them. The Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) repeated it three times. Abu Dharr remarked: They failed and they lost; who are these persons, Messenger of Allaah? Upon this he (the Prophet) observed: They are: the dragger of lower garment, the recounter of obligation the seller of goods by false oath.
It is narrated on the authority of Abu Dharr who narrates that the Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) observed: Three are the persons with whom Allaah would not speak on the Day of Resurrection: the bestower of gift who does not give anything but by laying obligation on him, the seller of goods who sells them by taking false oath and one who hangs low his lower garment.
Bishr b. Khalid has narrated this hadith on the authority of Sulaiman with the same chain of transmitters with this addition: Allaah shall neither speak nor look at nor absolve then, and there is a tormenting punishment for them.
It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) observed: Three (are the persons) with whom Allaah would neither speak, nor would He absolve them on the Day of Resurrection. Abu Mu'awiya added: He would not look at them and there is grievous torment for them: the aged adulterer, the liar king and the proud destitute.
Abu Huraira narrated on the authority of Abu Bakr that the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Three are the persons with whom Allaah would neither speak on the Day of Resurrection, nor would He look towards them, nor would purify them (from sins), and there would be a tormenting chastisement for them: a person who in the waterless desert has more water (than his need) and he refuses to give it to the traveller and a person who sold a commodity to another person in the afternoon and took an oath of Allaah that he had bought it at such and such price and he (the buyer) accepted it to be true though it was not a fact, and a person who pledged allegiance to the Imam but for the sake of the world (material gains). And if the Imam bestowed on him (something) out of that (worldly riches) he stood by his allegiance and if he did not give him, he did not fulfil the allegiance.
The same hadith has been transmitted by another chain of transmitters with the exception of these words: He offered for sale a commodity to another person.
This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that he (the Prophet of Allaah) observed: Three are the persons with whom Allaah would neither speak (on the Day of Resurrection) nor would He look at them, and there would be a painful chastisement for them, a person who took an oath on the goods of a Muslim in the afternoon and then broke it. The rest of the hadith is the same as narrated by A'mash.
