To Deliver Trusts

Allah commands you to deliver trusts (including public and professional duties of service) to those entitled to them. (an-Nisa 4:58)

 

124. Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “A Muslim is someone from whose tongue and hand the Muslims are safe. An emigrant (muhajir) is someone who leaves behind what Allah has forbidden.” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Iman, 4; Sahih Muslim, Iman, 64).

126. Abu Hurayra, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Do you know who is really destitute?” They said, “The destitute among us are those who have no money or property.” He said, “The truly destitute person among my community is someone who comes on the Day of Rising with Prayer, fasting and Zakah, but having insulted this person and slandered that person and consumed the property of this person and shed the blood of that person and beaten that person. He will give this person some of his good deeds and that one some of his good deeds. If his good deeds are wiped out before he has paid what he owes, some of their wrong actions are taken and thrown on him and then he is thrown into Hell.” (Sahih Muslim, Birr, 59).
