Al-Muwatta de Malik, 984

Abdallah Ibn Abbas a dit: «Jamais une fraude n'apparut chez des gens, sans que la frayeur n'ait pris leur cœur; quand l'adultère se répand chez les gens la mort augmente quand les gens faussent la mesure et la balance, ils seront privés des biens; quand les gens ne jugent pas selon la vérité, la tuerie se propagera parmi eux; quand les gens trahissent le pacte, Allah donnera le pouvoir sur eux à leur ennemi». Chapitre XIV Les martyrs dans le chemin d'Allah

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that he had heard that Abdullah ibn Abbas said, "Stealing from the spoils does not appear in a people but that terror is cast into their hearts. Fornication does not spread in a people but that there is much death among them. A people do not lessen the measure and weight but that provision is cut off from them. A people do not judge without right but that blood spreads among them. A people do not betray the pledge but that Allah gives their enemies power over them
