Ḥadīth 1

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِی الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِیٍّ الْکُوفِیِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ یُونُسَ بْنِ ظَبْیَانَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع یَا یُونُسُ مَنْ حَبَسَ حَقَّ الْمُؤْمِنِ أَقَامَهُ اللَّهُ یَوْمَ الْقِیَامَهِ خَمْسَمِائَهِ عَامٍ عَلَی رِجْلَیْهِ حَتَّی یَسِیلَ مِنْ عَرَقِهِ أَوْدِیَهٌ وَ یُنَادِی مُنَادٍ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ هَذَا الظَّالِمُ الَّذِی حَبَسَ عَنِ الْمُؤْمِنِ حَقَّهُ فیولج [فَیُوَبَّخُ] أَرْبَعِینَ یَوْماً ثُمَّ یُؤْمَرُ بِهِ إِلَی النَّارِ.

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) told Yunus, “One who deprives a believer of his right, the Almighty Allah will make him stand on his feet for five hundred years on the Day of Judgment. He will sweat so much the earth will be filled it. A caller will call out: this is that unjust person who deprived the believer of his right. He will continuously receive punishment for forty years, then he will be ordered to be taken to the fire (of Hell).”

Ḥadīth 2

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنِ الْمُفَضَّلِ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: أَیُّمَا مُؤْمِنٍ حَبَسَ مُؤْمِناً عَنْ مَالِهِ وَ هُوَ مُحْتَاجٌ إِلَیْهِ لَمْ یَذُقْ وَ اللَّهِ مِنْ طَعَامِ الْجَنَّهِ وَ لَا یَشْرَبُ مِنَ الرَّحِیقِ الْمَخْتُومِ.

2. And from the previous chain from Muhammad b. Sinan from al-Muffadhal from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “One who withholds the wealth of a believer which he needed, by Allah, he will never taste the food of Paradise nor will he be able to taste the sealed drink of Paradise.”
