وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «عَلَيْكُمْ بِالصِّدْقِ فَإِنَّ الصِّدْقَ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْبِرِّ وَإِنَّ الْبِرَّ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ وَمَا يَزَالُ الرَّجُلُ يَصْدُقُ وَيَتَحَرَّى الصِّدْقَ حَتَّى يُكْتَبَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ صِدِّيقًا. وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالْكَذِبَ فَإِنَّ الْكَذِبَ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْفُجُورِ وَإِنَّ الْفُجُورَ يَهْدِي إِلَى النَّارِ وَمَا يَزَالُ الرَّجُلُ يَكْذِبُ ⦗١٣٥٨⦘ وَيَتَحَرَّى الْكَذِبَ حَتَّى يُكْتَبَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ كَذَّابًا» . مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ. وَفِي رِوَايَة مُسلم قَالَ: «إِنَّ الصِّدْقَ بِرٌّ وَإِنَّ الْبِرَّ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ. وَإِنَّ الْكَذِبَ فُجُورٌ وَإِنَّ الْفُجُورَ يهدي إِلَى النَّار»
Abdullah ibn Mas'ud Narrated from:
Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, 'You must bind yourselves to speak the truth. Indeed, truth leads to piety and piety leads the doer of pious work to paradise. He who does not cease to speak the truth and sticks to the truth is recorded with Allah as a siddiq (the most truthful). And, beware of falsehood! Falsehood leads to wickedness and sin, and wickedness leads to hell. He who does not cease to speak lies and sticks to falsehood is recorded with Allah as a kadhabah (كذاب) - a great liar."According to another version: He said, "Truth is piety and piety leads to paradise, but falsehood wickedness and wickedness leads to hell." (It does not mention 'sticks to...' in each case.) [3]
