Unlawfulness of Oppression and Restoring Others Rights
`Abdullah bin `Amr bin Al-`as (May Allah bepleased with them) reported: A man named Kirkirah, who was in charge of the personal effects of Messenger of Allah (PBUH) passed away and the Prophet (PBUH) said, "He is in the (Hell) Fire." Some people went to his house looking for its cause and found there a cloak that he had stolen. [Al-Bukhari]

Commentary:
The Hadith shows that stealing and breach of trust fall in the category of major sins for which one can be consigned to Hell.

باب تحريم الظلم والأمر بردِّ المظالم
وعنه رضي اللَّه عنه قال : كَانَ عَلَى ثَقَل النَّبِيِّ صَلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّم رَجُلٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ كِرْكِرةُ ، فَمَاتَ فقال رسول اللَّه صَلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّم : « هُوَ في النَّارِ » فَذَهَبُوا يَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيْهِ فوَجَدُوا عَبَاءَة قَدْ غَلَّهَا. رواه البخاري .
