Musnad Ahmad 6641

Translation

✧ A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'O Messenger of God, what is the deed of Paradise?' He said: 'Truthfulness. When a servant is truthful, he is righteous; when he is righteous, he believes; and when he believes, he enters Paradise.' He said: 'O Messenger of God, what is the deed of the Fire?' He said: 'Lying. When a servant lies, he is wicked; when he is wicked, he disbelieves; and when he disbelieves, he enters'—meaning the Fire.
