بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِي الصِّدْقِ وَالْكَذِبِWhat is Reported Regarding Truthfulness and Lying
Hadith 1821
وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِك أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ، أَنَّهُ قِيلَ لِلُقْمَانَ : مَا بَلَغَ بِكَ مَا نَرَى يُرِيدُونَ الْفَضْلَ، فَقَالَ لُقْمَانُ : صِدْقُ الْحَدِيثِ، وَأَدَاءُ الْأَمَانَةِ، وَتَرْكُ مَا لَا يَعْنِينِي
It reached Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, that someone asked Hazrat Luqman, peace be upon him, "How did you attain such greatness?" Hazrat Luqman, peace be upon him, said: "By speaking the truth, by being trustworthy, and by avoiding useless deeds."
