Hadith on Treachery: Betrayal of treaties forbids entry to Paradise

Abdullah ibn Amr reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Whoever kills a person protected by a treaty will never smell the fragrance of Paradise. Verily, its fragrance can be found from a distance of forty years of travel.”
