On the authority of Jundub bin `Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) who reported that Allah's Messenger (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had said:
Once a man said: Allah will not forgive such and such person. Thereupon Allah, the Exalted and the Glorious, said: Who is that person who takes an oath in My name that I will not grant pardon to so and so; I have granted pardon to so and so and blotted out your (he who swears) good deeds of all merits.
(Reported by Muslim)
