Hazrat Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, truthfulness leads a person towards righteousness, and righteousness leads to Paradise. And a person continues to speak the truth until he is recorded with Allah as a truthful one (Siddiq). And indeed, falsehood leads to wickedness, and wickedness leads to Hell. And a person continues to lie until he is written with Allah as a great liar.
