Hadith 298
298/386 (صحيح) عن عبد الله [هو ابن مسعود]، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: "عليكم بالصدق؛ فإن الصدق يهدي إلى البر، وإن البر يهدي إلى الجنة، وإن الرجل يصدق حتى يكتب عند الله صديقاً، وإياكم والكذب؛ فإن الكذب يهدي إلى الفجور، والفجور يهدي إلى النار، وإن الرجل ليكذب حتى يُكتب عند الله كذاباً".
Sayyiduna Abdullah (ibn Mas'ud) (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that he said: "Always remain steadfast upon truth, for indeed truthfulness leads to righteousness, and righteousness leads to Paradise. And indeed, a person continues to speak the truth until he is written with Allah as a truthful one (Siddiq). And always avoid lying, for indeed lying leads to wickedness (sins), and wickedness leads to Hell. A person continues to lie until he is written with Allah as a liar (Kadhdhab)."
Hadith 299
299/387- (صحيح) عن عبد الله [هو ابن مسعود] قال : "لا يصلح الكذب في جدٍّ ولا هزل، ولا أن يعد أحدكم ولده ثم لا ينجز له)).
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah (ibn Mas'ud) (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: Lying is not permissible, neither in seriousness nor in jest, nor in a situation where someone makes a promise to his child and then does not fulfill it.
