وَعَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ سَلِيمٍ أَنَّهُ قِيلَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ: أَيَكُونُ الْمُؤْمِنُ جَبَانًا؟ قَالَ: «نعم» . فَقيل: أَيَكُونُ الْمُؤْمِنُ بَخِيلًا؟ قَالَ: «نَعَمْ» . فَقِيلَ: أَيَكُونُ الْمُؤْمِنُ كَذَّابًا؟ قَالَ: «لَا» . رَوَاهُ مَالِكٌ وَالْبَيْهَقِيُّ فِي «شعب الْإِيمَان» مُرْسلا
Safwan ibn Sulaym Narrated from:
Allah's Messenger ﷺ was asked, "Can a believer be a coward?" He said, "Yes (it is possible)!" He was asked, "It is possible for a believer to be a miser?" He said, "Yes!" Then, he was asked, "Is it possible for a believer to be a (habitual) liar?" He said, "No!" [1]
