حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ. ح وحَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ دَاوُدَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَاالْأَعْمَشُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ،‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ إِيَّاكُمْ وَالْكَذِبَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِنَّ الْكَذِبَ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْفُجُورِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِنَّ الْفُجُورَ يَهْدِي إِلَى النَّارِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَكْذِبُ وَيَتَحَرَّى الْكَذِبَ حَتَّى يُكْتَبَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ كَذَّابًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَعَلَيْكُمْ بِالصِّدْقِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِنَّ الصِّدْقَ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْبِرِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِنَّ الْبِرَّ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَصْدُقُ وَيَتَحَرَّى الصِّدْقَ حَتَّى يُكْتَبَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ صِدِّيقًا .

The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم as saying: Avoid falsehood, for falsehood leads to wickedness, and wickedness to hell; and if a man continues to speak falsehood and makes falsehood his object, he will be recorded in Allah’s presence as a great liar. And adhere to truth, for truth leads to good deeds, and good deeds lead to paradise. If a man continues to speak the truth and makes truth his object, he will be recorded in Allah’s presence as eminently truthful.
