ahmad:4022ʿAbd al-Razzāq > Maʿmar > Abū Isḥāq > Abū al-Aḥwaṣ > Ibn Masʿūd > Wʾinnī

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allahﷺ say: "Indeed, a servant may lie until he is recorded with Allah as a liar, or he may speak the truth until he is recorded with Allah as truthful."  

أحمد:٤٠٢٢حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ وإِنِّي

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيَكْذِبُ حَتَّى يُكْتَبَ عِنْدَ اللهِ كَذَّابًا أَوْ يَصْدُقُ حَتَّى يُكْتَبَ عِنْدَ اللهِ صِدِّيقًا

[Machine] It was reported that a man continues to lie until he is recorded by Allah as a liar, and that a man continues to tell the truth until he is recorded by Allah as truthful.  

أحمد:٤٠٩٥حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ إِنَّ مُحَمَّدًا ﷺ

حَدَّثَنَا أَنَّ الرَّجُلَ يَكْذِبُ حَتَّى يُكْتَبَ عِنْدَ اللهِ كَذَّابًا وَأَنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَصْدُقُ حَتَّى يُكْتَبَ عِنْدَ اللهِ صِدِّيقًا  

ذِكْرُ كِتْبَةِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا الْمَرْءَ عِنْدَهُ مِنَ الصِّدِّيقِينَ بِمُدَاوَمَتِهِ عَلَى الصِّدْقِ فِي الدُّنْيَا

[Machine] The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "A man will continue speaking the truth and seeking truthfulness until he is recorded with Allah as a truthful person. And a man will continue lying and seeking falsehood until he is recorded with Allah as a liar."  

ابن حبّان:٢٧٢أَخْبَرَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي مَعْشَرٍ بِحَرَّانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ وَمَنْصُورٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا يَزَالُ الرَّجُلُ يَصْدُقُ وَيَتَحَرَّى الصِّدْقَ حَتَّى يُكْتَبَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ صِدِّيقًا وَلَا يَزَالُ يَكْذِبُ وَيَتَحَرَّى الْكَذِبَ حَتَّى يُكْتَبَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ كَذَّابًا»
