Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) never addressed us except that he said:
"He who has no integrity has no faith, and he who does not keep his covenant has no religion."
Reported by Ahmad (No. 13145, 11935, 12108, 12722).
Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) informs that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) rarely delivered a sermon or gave advice without mentioning two things: First: There is no complete faith for he who harbors betrayal toward anyone regarding his wealth, person, or family. Second: There is no complete religion for he who betrays covenants and treaties and breaks them.
Lessons

Explanation in Arabic
يُخبر أنس بن مالك رضي الله عنه أنه قَلَّ أن يخطب النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أو يَعِظ إلا ذَكَر أمرين:
الأول: لا إيمان كامل لمن كانت في نفسه خيانة لأحد في ماله أو نفسه أو أهله.
الثاني: لا دين كامل لمن يَخون العهود والمواثيق وينقضُها.
الحث على أداء الأمانة والإيفاء بالعهد، فإن نقضهم يُنقِص الإيمان.
التحذير من خيانة الأمانة ونقض العهد، وأن ذلك من كبائر الذنوب.
يشمل الحديث المحافظة على الأمانة والعهد الذي بين الله وبين عبده، والذي بين الخلق بعضهم البعض.
