THOSE WHO WILL NOT BE PURIFIED

1886

“Allah will neither speak, look nor purify three kinds of people on the Day of Judgement, and they will receive a painful punishment: A man in the desert who has extra water yet withholds it from a traveler. A man who sells something to another after the afternoon prayer swearing by Allah that he had paid so much for it so the other takes his word and pays him accordingly although in reality it was not correct. A man, who makes his promise of obedience to an imam in order to gain some worldly consideration, then having achieved it does not fulfill his promise. And if he does not achieve his aim he does not fulfill his promise.”

Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
