Tirmidhi Book 14, Hadith 1217
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الطَّالَقَانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْوَاسِطِيُّ، عَنْ حُسَيْنِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِأَصْحَابِ الْمِكْيَالِ وَالْمِيزَانِ: إِنَّكُمْ قَدْ وُلِّيتُمْ أَمْرَيْنِ هَلَكَتْ فِيهِ الْأُمَمُ السَّالِفَةُ قَبْلَكُمْ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى: هَذَا حَدِيثٌ لَا نَعْرِفُهُ مَرْفُوعًا إِلَّا، مِنْ حَدِيثِ حُسَيْنِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، وَحُسَيْنُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ يُضَعَّفُ فِي الْحَدِيثِ، وَقَدْ رُوِيَ هَذَا بِإِسْنَادٍ صَحِيحٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ مَوْقُوفًا.
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: That the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to the people of weights and measures: Indeed you have been entrusted with two matters that nations preceding you in the past were destroyed for. [Abu 'Eisa said:] We do not know this Hadith to be Marfu' except through the narration of Husain bin Qais, and Husain bin Qais was graded weak in Hadith. This has been reported as Maquf narration from Ibn 'Abbas with a Sahih chain of narration.

"The best of what a man leaves behind are three: a righteous child who supplicates for him, ongoing charity the reward of which reaches him, and knowledge that is acted upon after him."
Sunan Ibn Mājah
"Every day two angels come down from Heaven and one of them says, 'O Allah! Compensate every person who spends in Your Cause,' and the other (angel) says, 'O Allah! Destroy every miser.'"
