حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ وَأَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ
إِيَّاكُمْ وَالْكَذِبَ؛ فَإِنَّ الْكَذِبَ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْفُجُورِ، وَالْفُجُورُ يَهْدِي إِلَى النَّارِ، وَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَكْذِبُ حَتَّى يُكْتَبَ عِنْدَ اللهِ كَذَّابًا وَقَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: عَلَيْكُمْ بِالصِّدْقِ؛ فَإِنَّ الصِّدْقَ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْبِرِّ، وَإِنَّ الْبِرَّ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ، وَإِنَّهُ يَعْنِي الرَّجُلَ لَيَصْدُقُ، وَيَتَحَرَّى الصِّدْقَ حَتَّى يُكْتَبَ عِنْدَ اللهِ صِدِّيقًا، قَالَ أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ: وَمَا يَزَالُ الرَّجُلُ يَصْدُقُ، وَيَتَحَرَّى الصِّدْقَ.

✧ Beware of lying, for lying leads to wickedness, and wickedness leads to the Fire. A man keeps lying until he is written with Allah as a liar. And he said: The Prophet ﷺ said: You must be truthful, for truthfulness leads to righteousness, and righteousness leads to Paradise. A man keeps telling the truth and strives for truth until he is written with Allah as a truthful one. Abu Muawiyah said: And a man keeps telling the truth and strives for truth.
