وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَجُلًا يَقُولُ: إِنَّ الظَّالِمَ لَا يَضُرُّ إِلَّا نَفْسَهُ فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ: بَلَى وَاللَّهِ حَتَّى الْحُبَارَى لَتَمُوتُ فِي وَكْرِهَا هُزْلًا لِظُلْمِ الظَّالِمِ. رَوَى الْبَيْهَقِيُّ الْأَحَادِيثَ الْأَرْبَعَةَ فِي «شُعَبِ الْإِيمَانِ»
AbuHurayrah Narrated from:
Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah رضي الله عنه narrated that he heard a man say, "The oppressor harms none but himself." So Abu Hurayrah رضي الله عنه said, "Of course, (he hurts himself but others too are hurt by his ill-omen) and, by Allah, even the bustard dies in its nest from starvation because of the oppression of the oppressor."
