Mukhtasar Bukhari (Abridged) 2039 — Allah's command to be

Narrated by Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: "Truthfulness leads to righteousness, and righteousness leads to Paradise. And a person keeps speaking the truth until he is recorded with Allah as a truthful person. And indeed, lying leads to wickedness, and wickedness leads to the Fire. And a person keeps telling lies until he is recorded with Allah as a liar."
