Jabir bin 'Abdullah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Beware of oppression, for oppression will be darkness on the Day of Resurrection; and beware of stinginess because it destroyed those who were before you. It incited them to shed their blood and deem unlawful as lawful."
[Muslim].
وعن جابر رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله ﷺ قال: اتقوا الظلم فإن الظلم ظلمات يوم القيامة واتقوا الشح فإن الشح أهلك من كان قبلكم حملهم على أن سفكوا دماءهم واستحلوا محارمهم” ((رواه مسلم)).
