حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مِقْسَمٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم: اتَّقُوا الظُّلْمَ، فَإِنَّ الظُّلْمَ ظُلُمَاتٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، وَاتَّقُوا الشُّحَّ، فَإِنَّ الشُّحَّ أَهْلَكَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ، وَحَمَلَهُمْ عَلَى أَنْ سَفَكُوا دِمَاءَهُمْ، وَاسْتَحَلُّوا مَحَارِمَهُمْ.

Bishr said: ‘Abd Allah related to us; Dawud ibn Qays related to us; ‘Ubayd Allah ibn Miqsam related to us: I heard Jabir ibn ‘Abd Allah say: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “Beware of injustice, for injustice is layers of darkness on the Day of Resurrection. Beware of extreme greed, for it destroyed those before you and drove them to shed one another’s blood and deem their forbidden things lawful.”
