Whoever harms others, Allah will place him into difficulty

Can you provide the reference for this narration?

Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:

“Whoever [unjustly] causes harm [to a Muslim], Allah harms him [by placing him into difficulty] and whoever is harsh Allah will be harsh with him”

Answer:

Imams Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah (rahimahumullah) have recorded this Hadith on the authority of Sayyiduna Abu Sirmah (radiyallahu ‘anhu).

(Sunan Tirmidhi, Hadith: 1940, Sunan Abi Dawud, Hadith: 3630, Sunan Ibn Majah, Hadith: 2342)

Imam Tirmidhi (rahimahullah) has graded the Hadith sound (hasan).

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
