عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ مَالِكِ بْنِ نَضْلَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى مَا تَدْعُو قَالَ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَإِلَى الرَّحِمِ قُلْتُ يَأْتِينِي الرَّجُلُ مِنْ بَنِي عَمِّي فَأَحْلِفُ أَنْ لَا أُعْطِيَهُ ثُمَّ أُعْطِيهِ قَالَ فَكَفِّرْ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ وَأْتِ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ كَانَ لَكَ عَبْدَانِ أَحَدُهُمَا يُطِيعُكَ وَلَا يَخُونُكَ وَلَا يَكْذِبُكَ وَالْآخَرُ يَخُونُكَ وَيَكْذِبُكَ قَالَ قُلْتُ لَا بَلِ الَّذِي لَا يَخُونُنِي وَلَا يَكْذِبُنِي وَيَصْدُقُنِي الْحَدِيثَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ قَالَ كَذَاكُمْ أَنْتُمْ عِنْدَ رَبِّكُمْ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Malik bin Nadlah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he asked the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "What do you invite towards?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: "Towards Allah Almighty and maintaining family ties." I said: "A cousin of mine comes to me and I swear that I will not give him anything, but then I give him something.?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then offer expiation for your oath and choose the better option. Reflect yourself: if you had two slaves, one of whom obeys you, does not betray you, and does not lie to you, while the other betrays and lies to you—" I said: "No, rather the one who does not betray, does not lie, and speaks the truth would be more beloved to me." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You are also like this in the sight of your Lord."
