Explanation of the Hadith: Three people to whom Allah will not look on the Day of Resurrection

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: May Allah bless you, Muhammad from Riyadh asks about the explanation of a hadith from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
There are three persons whom Allah will not look at on the Day of Resurrection, nor will he purify them and theirs shall be a severe punishment. They are: -1. A man possessed superfluous water, on a way and he withheld it from travelers.ثلاثة لا ينظر الله إليهم يوم القيامة ولا يزكيهم ولهم عذاب أليم رجل كان له فضل ماء بالطريق فمنعه من ابن السبيل
Sahih al-Bukhari 2358
-2. A man who gave a pledge of allegiance to a ruler and he gave it only for worldly benefits. If the ruler gives him something he gets satisfied, and if the ruler withholds something from him, he gets dissatisfied. -3. And man displayed his goods for sale after the `Asr prayerورجل بايع إماما لا يبايعه إلا لدنيا، فإن أعطاه منها رضي، وإن لم يعطه منها سخط، ورجل أقام سلعته بعد العصر
Sahih al-Bukhari 2358
, and he said: By Allah, there is no god but He, I was given so much and so much for it, and he believed him, and he believed him, and he believed him. Al-Bukhari narrated it.

Answer:
Yes, the hadith is clear in prohibiting these matters and forbidding them and being severe regarding them. So the one who pledges allegiance to the ruler must fulfill it and obey and listen, and even if he did not pledge directly, the pledge of the Muslims to him is sufficient, and he is one of the Muslims. So if some of the leaders of the Muslims, in whose hands are the keys of decision, pledge, they suffice for the rest, and the pledge is obligatory for everyone. Yes.
