Could you mention the reference for this please?
دار الظالم خراب ولو بعد حين
The property of the oppressor will be destroyed, even if it is after some time
Answer:
‘Allamah Sakhawi (rahimahullah) states that he has not come across any source/basis for this, however, the following Verse supports the meaning: “These are their homes that lie in ruins because of their oppression” [Surah Naml, Verse: 52)
(Al Maqasidul Hasanah, Hadith: 474. Also see: Kashful Khafa: 1280)
The meaning is therefore correct, however, These words should not be quoted as a Hadith of Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam),
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
