The condition of the people on the Day of Resurrection (the Muslims) (4)

The situation of the traitor
He is the one who is promised an issue but he does not fulfill it and he has a state that he will come upon on the Day of Resurrection. He will be carrying a flag, which is the great responsibility that he will be known with on the Day of Resurrection. It will be said: he is the traitor of so and so (people). What a great disgrace it will be!!
From the two Sahih there is the Hadith of Ibn Omar (may Allah be pleased with them) who said: the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Every betrayer will have a flag on the Day of Resurrection" One of the two subnarrators said that the flag would be fixed, and the other said that it would be shown on the Day of Resurrection, so that the betrayer might be recognized by it”[1]. This flag will be placed at his back so that he will be known by it.
In Sahih Muslim, there is the Hadith of Ibn Sa`id (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “On the Day of Judgment there will be a flag fixed behind the buttocks of every person guilty of the breach of faith.”[2]
What was mentioned was that what is greater than this is when the treason is from a leader and someone with authority because the importance of that then is greater. There is a lot of harm. In a narration with Muslim: “There is no guilt of treachery more serious than the one committed by the ruler of men”[3]
