📖 1 min readعن جندب بن عبد الله رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : "قال رجل: والله لا يغفر الله لفلان، فقال الله: من ذا الذي يتألى عليَّ أن لا أغفر لفلان؟ إني قد غفرت له، وأحبطت عملك".
وفي حديث أبي هريرة: أن القائل رجل عابد، قال أبو هريرة: "تكلم بكلمة أوبقت دنياه وآخرته".
Warning against the dangers of the tongue, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) says that a man once swore that Allah would not forgive a sinner. It was as if he was passing a judgment that limits Allah's authority, believing in his credit and the sinner's disgrace. His conceit implies his rudeness toward Allah, a practice that subjected him to a miserable fate in life and the Hereafter.
