The Biggest Loser

Abu Hurayra (r.a.) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.) said:

''Do you know who the greatest loser is?''

The Companions answered: ''He is the one who has completely lost all of his wealth and his livelilood.''

The Prophet (s.a.w.) replied: ''Not at all! The biggest loser among my nation will be the one who comes to the Day of Judgement bringing all his prayers, his fasting and his charitable deeds, but also has abused one person, cheated another, stolen from another and drawn the blood of another.
 Allah will give all his good deeds to the people whom he harmed, and if they are not sufficient to repay the harm he has done, then the wrong actions of his victims will be piled on his head and the angels will be ordered to take him to the Fire.''

(recorded in Muslim)
