عَن ابْن عَبَّاس قَالَ: «مَا ظَهَرَ الْغُلُولُ فِي قَوْمٍ إِلَّا أَلْقَى اللَّهُ فِي قُلُوبِهِمُ الرُّعْبَ وَلَا فَشَا الزِّنَا فِي قَوْمٍ إِلَّا كَثُرَ فِيهِمُ الْمَوْتُ وَلَا نَقَصَ قَوْمُ الْمِكْيَالَ وَالْمِيزَانَ إِلَّا قَطَعَ عَنْهُمُ الرِّزْقَ وَلَا حَكَمَ قَوْمٌ بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ إِلَّا فَشَا فِيهِمُ الدَّمُ وَلَا خَتَرَ قَوْمٌ بالعهد إِلا سُلِّطَ عَلَيْهِم عدوهم» . رَوَاهُ مَالك
Ibn 'Abbas Narrated from:
When a people begin to steal from the spoils, Allah casts terror into their hearts (and they fear their enemy). When fornication spreads among a people, death becomes widespread among them (There may be plague or other diseases overtake them). When a people resort to giving short measure and weight, their provision is withdrawn from them. When a people judge unjustly blood is shed extensively among them. When a people betray a pledge, their enemy is made to subjugate them. [1]
