5.         Lower your gaze.

6.         Prevent your hands from harming others.

(Musnad-e-Imam Ahmad Bin Hanbal, vol. 8, pp. 412, Hadees 22821)

Breach of trust leads to Hell

Without Shar’i permission, using or spending someone’s trust is called breach of trust. (Umdah-tul- Qaari, vol. 1, pp. 328)

Trustworthiness is Wajib (obligatory) upon every Muslim and breaching of trust is a Haram act leading to Hell. (Al-Hadiqah-tul-Nadiyyah, vol. 1, pp. 652)

یٰۤاَیُّہَا الَّذِیۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا لَا تَخُوۡنُوا اللّٰہَ وَ الرَّسُوۡلَ وَ تَخُوۡنُوۡۤا اَمٰنٰتِکُمۡ وَ اَنۡتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُوۡنَ ﴿۲۷﴾

Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: ‘O People who Believe! Do not betray Allah and His Noble Prophet, nor purposely defraud your trusts.’

(Part 9, Surah Al - Anfaal, verse 27)

The Noblest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated: There are three signs, if found in somebody, will be hypocrite though he offers Salah regularly and observes fast regularly: (1) When he speaks he lies. (2) When he promises he breaks his promise. (3) When he is entrusted he betrays the trust.’

(Muslim, pp. 50, Hadees 107)

When we dug a grave for him, we saw a big black snake inside the grave sitting, occupying the whole area of grave, we dug another grave, but we found the same snake inside. Now, we are here to ask you the solution. Sayyiduna Abdullah Bin Abbas رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُمَا said:
