Hadith 4824
وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «عَلَيْكُمْ بِالصِّدْقِ فَإِنَّ الصِّدْقَ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْبِرِّ وَإِنَّ الْبِرَّ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ وَمَا يَزَالُ الرَّجُلُ يَصْدُقُ وَيَتَحَرَّى الصِّدْقَ حَتَّى يُكْتَبَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ صِدِّيقًا. وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالْكَذِبَ فَإِنَّ الْكَذِبَ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْفُجُورِ وَإِنَّ الْفُجُورَ يَهْدِي إِلَى النَّارِ وَمَا يَزَالُ الرَّجُلُ يَكْذِبُ وَيَتَحَرَّى الْكَذِبَ حَتَّى يُكْتَبَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ كَذَّابًا» . مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ. وَفِي رِوَايَة مُسلم قَالَ: «إِنَّ الصِّدْقَ بِرٌّ وَإِنَّ الْبِرَّ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ. وَإِنَّ الْكَذِبَ فُجُورٌ وَإِنَّ الْفُجُورَ يهدي إِلَى النَّار»
Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Adopt truthfulness, for truthfulness leads to righteousness, and righteousness leads to Paradise. A man continues to speak the truth and seeks truthfulness until he is recorded with Allah as a truthful one (Siddiq). And beware of lying, for lying leads to sin, and sin leads to the Fire. A man continues to lie and seeks falsehood until he is recorded with Allah as a liar.” And in the narration of Muslim, he said: “Indeed, truthfulness is righteousness, and righteousness leads to Paradise. And indeed, lying is sin, and sin leads to the Fire.” Agreed upon.
