Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنِي بِشْرُ بْنُ مَرْحُومٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ قَالَ اللَّهُ ثَلاَثَةٌ أَنَا خَصْمُهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، رَجُلٌ أَعْطَى بِي ثُمَّ غَدَرَ، وَرَجُلٌ بَاعَ حُرًّا فَأَكَلَ ثَمَنَهُ، وَرَجُلٌ اسْتَأْجَرَ أَجِيرًا فَاسْتَوْفَى مِنْهُ، وَلَمْ يُعْطِ أَجْرَهُ ‏"‏‏.‏

Translation

Bishr ibn Marhum narrated to me: Yahya ibn Sulaym narrated to us, from Ismail ibn Umayya, from Said ibn Abi Said, from Abu Hurayra, may Allah be pleased with him, from the Prophet, who said that Allah said: “There are three whose adversary I will be on the Day of Resurrection: a man who makes a covenant in My name and then betrays it; a man who sells a free person and consumes the price; and a man who hires a worker, takes the full work from him, but does not give him his wages.”

Translation notes
  • The Arabic says the person sells a free person and consumes the price; it does not add “as a slave,” which appears in the English witness.
