Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ ثَلاَثَةٌ أَنَا خَصْمُهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَمَنْ كُنْتُ خَصْمَهُ خَصَمْتُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ رَجُلٌ أَعْطَى بِي ثُمَّ غَدَرَ وَرَجُلٌ بَاعَ حُرًّا فَأَكَلَ ثَمَنَهُ وَرَجُلٌ اسْتَأْجَرَ أَجِيرًا فَاسْتَوْفَى مِنْهُ وَلَمْ يُوفِهِ أَجْرَهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Suwayd ibn Said narrated to us: Yahya ibn Sulaym narrated to us, from Ismail ibn Umayyah, from Said ibn Abi Said al-Maqburi, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “There are three whose adversary I will be on the Day of Resurrection; and whoever has me as an adversary, I will defeat him: a man who gives his pledge by Me 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 pay him his wages.”

Notes and open questions — unreviewed
  • The Arabic attributes the statement directly to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ; the English witness adds a parenthetical “Allah says” not present in this source block. The three cases and the worker receiving no wages are fully retained.
