What is the text of the hadith that begins with "There are three things, whoever has them will have them turned against him: injustice... then adultery... And what is the third?" And what is its explanation, focusing on the issue of adultery and how it "will be turned against him" if the adulterer is alone with chaste women?
The aforementioned Hadith is weak, and its wording is: "Three things, if they are in a person, will rebound upon their perpetrator: transgression, cunning, and treachery." Its recitation of the verses is: "But evil plotting ensnares only those who plot it" (Fatir: 43), "O mankind, your transgression is only against yourselves" (Yunus: 23), and "And whoever breaks his oath, he breaks it only to the detriment of himself" (Al-Fath: 10). The word "zina" (fornication/adultery) was not mentioned in it.
