حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُصَفَّى، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزَّاهِرِيَّةِ، عَنْ أَبِي شَجَرَةَ، كَثِيرِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ " إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يُهْلِكَ عَبْدًا نَزَعَ مِنْهُ الْحَيَاءَ فَإِذَا نَزَعَ مِنْهُ الْحَيَاءَ لَمْ تَلْقَهُ إِلاَّ مَقِيتًا مُمَقَّتًا فَإِذَا لَمْ تَلْقَهُ إِلاَّ مَقِيتًا مُمَقَّتًا نُزِعَتْ مِنْهُ الأَمَانَةُ فَإِذَا نُزِعَتْ مِنْهُ الأَمَانَةُ لَمْ تَلْقَهُ إِلاَّ خَائِنًا مُخَوَّنًا فَإِذَا لَمْ تَلْقَهُ إِلاَّ خَائِنًا مُخَوَّنًا نُزِعَتْ مِنْهُ الرَّحْمَةُ فَإِذَا نُزِعَتْ مِنْهُ الرَّحْمَةُ لَمْ تَلْقَهُ إِلاَّ رَجِيمًا مُلَعَّنًا فَإِذَا لَمْ تَلْقَهُ إِلاَّ رَجِيمًا مُلَعَّنًا نُزِعَتْ مِنْهُ رِبْقَةُ الإِسْلاَمِ " .

It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
"WhenAllah wants to destroy a person, He takes away modesty from him, youwill only see him with the wrath of Allah upon him, and he will behated by people. When you only see him with the wrath of Allah uponhim, and hated by people, then honesty will be taken away from him,and when honesty is taken away from him, you will only see him as atraitor who is called such by others. When you only see him as atraitor who is called such by others, then mercy will be taken awayfrom him, and when mercy is taken away from him, you will only seehimas rejected and accursed, and when you only see him as rejectedandaccursed, then the bond of Islam will be taken away from him."
