Hadhrat
‘Abdullah Ibn ‘Umar (Radiyallahu ‘anhu) reported that Rasulullah (Sallallahu
‘alayhi wa sallam) said:
“…[Whenever
a nation] lessens weights and measures [i.e. they are deceitful in business
transactions], they will be afflicted with famine, price hikes and an
oppressive leader.
When they refuse to
pay Zakaat, they will be deprived of rain. Were it not for the animals, it
will not rain [at all]…”
[Mustadrak Hakim, vol. 4 pg. 540. Sunan Ibn Majah, Hadith: 4019]
