حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، قَالَ أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ : أَنْبَأَنَا عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ ، قَالَ : كَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ ، يَقُولُ : إِنَّ الْكَذِبَ لَا يَصْلُحُ مِنْهُ جِدٌّ وَلَا هَزْلٌ ، وَلَا يَعِدُ الرَّجُلُ الرَّجُلَ شَيْئًا ثُمَّ لَا يُنْجِزُهُ لَهُ ، وَإِنَّ مُحَمَّدًا - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، قَالَ لَنَا : أَلَا أُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِالْعَضْهِ ؟ هِيَ النَّمِيمَةُ ، الْقَالَةُ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ ، وَإِنَّ مُحَمَّدًا - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : لَا يَزَالُ الرَّجُلُ يَصْدُقُ حَتَّى يُكْتَبَ عِنْدَ اللهِ صِدِّيقًا ، وَلَا يَزَالُ الرَّجُلُ يَكْذِبُ حَتَّى يُكْتَبَ عِنْدَ اللهِ كَذَّابًا ، أَلَا تَرَوْنَ أَنَّهُ يُقَالُ لِلصَّادِقِ : صَدَقَ وَبَرَّ ، وَيُقَالُ لِلْكَاذِبِ : كَذَبَ وَفَجَرَ ، وَإِنَّ الصِّدْقَ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْبِرِّ ، وَإِنَّ الْبِرَّ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ ، وَإِنَّ الْكَذِبَ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْفُجُورِ ، وَإِنَّ الْفُجُورَ يَهْدِي إِلَى النَّارِ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) used to say: "Lying is not permissible in any form, neither in seriousness nor in jest, nor is it proper that a man should promise someone something and then not fulfil it." He also related that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said to us: "Shall I not tell you what 'adh' is? It is tale-bearing (namimah), that is, carrying talk back and forth among people to create discord." And (he related that) Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A man keeps on telling the truth until he is recorded with Allah as a siddiq (truthful one), and a man keeps on lying until he is recorded with Allah as a kadhdhab (liar). Do you not see that about the truthful one it is said: 'He spoke the truth and did good', and about the liar it is said: 'He lied and sinned'? Indeed, truthfulness leads to righteousness and righteousness leads to Paradise, and lying leads to sin and sin leads to Hell."
