حَدَّثَنَا
عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا
مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنْ
أَيُّوبَ ، عَنِ
ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ ، أَوْ غَيْرِهِ ، أَنَّ
عَائِشَة َقَالَتْ : " مَا كَانَ خُلُقٌ أَبْغَضَ إِلَى أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنَ الْكَذِبِ ، وَلَقَدْ
كَانَ الرَّجُلُ يَكْذِبُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْكَذِبَةَ ، فَمَا يَزَالُ فِي نَفْسِهِ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى يَعْلَمَ أَنْه قَدْ أَحْدَثَ مِنْهَا تَوْبَةً " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that among the companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), there was no habit worse than lying. Sometimes, if a person lied in the presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), this thing would continue to reproach him until it became known that he had repented from it.
