3. It is narrated that Amirul Momineen (a.s.) said, “
If I hadn’t heard the words of the Holy Prophet: ‘Indeed, cheating, deception and fraud lead to Hell’, I would have been the greatest fraudster of the Arabs.”
حَدَّثَنِی أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِی الْجَارُودِ قَالَ
حَدَّثَنِی حَبِیبُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ عَنْ زَاذَانَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَلِیّاً ع یَقُولُ لَوْ لَا أَنِّی سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص یَقُولُ لَوْ لَا أَنَّ الْمَکْرَ وَ الْخَدِیعَهَ وَ الْخِیَانَهَ فِی النَّارِ لَکُنْتُ أَمْکَرَ الْعَرَبِ.
