25. Chapter: On the command to deliver trusts Allah Almighty says, "Allah commands you to return to their owners the things you hold on trust," (W4:57; H4:58) and the Almighty says, "We offered the Trust to the heavens, the earth and the mountains, but they refused to take it on and shrank from it. But man took it on. He is indeed wrongdoing and ignorant." (33:72) 199. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, (PBUH), said, "There are three signs of a hypocrite: whenever he speaks, he lies; whenever he makes a promise, he breaks it; and whenever he is trusted, he betrays his trust." [Agreed upon] In one variant, "Even if he fasts and prays and claims that he is a Muslim."
