Authentic hadithNarrated by Bukhari

Some people dispose of Allah's property wrongfully. For them will be Hellfire on the Day of Judgment

عن خَولة الأنصاريةِ رضي الله عنها قالت: سمعت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول: «إِنَّ رِجَالًا يَتَخَوَّضُونَ فِي مَالِ اللهِ بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ، فَلَهُمُ النَّارُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ».

Explanation

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) spoke about people who unjustly dispose of the Muslims' property and take it wrongfully. This is a general meaning regarding wealth, which was earned and collected through improper means and spent improperly. Falling under this category are consuming the orphans' wealth, unduly handling endowment money, denying trusts, and taking public funds without any right.

Then, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informed us that their punishment will be Hellfire on the Day of Judgment.
