[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Adhere to truthfulness, for indeed, truthfulness leads to righteousness, and righteousness leads to Paradise. Verily, a man speaks the truth until he is recorded by Allah as a truthful person. Beware of lying, for indeed, lying leads to wickedness, and wickedness leads to the Fire. Verily, a man lies until he is recorded by Allah as a liar." Abu Abdullah Al-Hafiz informed us, who was informed by Muhammad ibn Ya'qub, who was informed by Muhammad ibn Amr, who was informed by Yahya ibn Yahya, who reported it from Abu Muawiya, from Al-A'mash, mentioning it with his chain of narration, except that he said, "And a man continues to speak the truth and strive for truthfulness until he is recorded by Allah as a truthful person." And he said towards the end, "And a man continues to lie and strive for lying until he is recorded by Allah as a liar."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالصِّدْقِ فَإِنَّ الصِّدْقَ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْبِرِّ وَإِنَّ الْبِرَّ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ وَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَصْدُقُ حَتَّى يُكْتَبَ عِنْدَ اللهِ صِدِّيقًا وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالْكَذِبَ فَإِنَّ الْكَذِبَ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْفُجُورِ وَإِنَّ الْفُجُورَ يَهْدِي إِلَى النَّارِ وَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَكْذِبُ حَتَّى يُكْتَبَ عِنْدَ اللهِ كَذَّابًا 20818 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أنبأ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى أنبأ أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ فَذَكَرَهُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ وَمَا يَزَالُ الرَّجُلُ يَصْدُقُ وَيَتَحَرَّى الصِّدْقَ حَتَّى يَكْتُبَ عِنْدَ اللهِ صِدِّيقًا وَقَالَ فِي آخِرِهِ وَمَا يَزَالُ الرَّجُلُ يَكْذِبُ وَيَتَحَرَّى الْكَذِبَ حَتَّى يُكْتَبَ عِنْدَ اللهِ كَذَّابًا  

The Prophet ﷺ said, "The signs of a hypocrite are three: 1. Whenever he speaks, he tells a lie. 2. Whenever he promises, he always breaks it (his promise ). 3. If you trust him, he proves to be dishonest. (If you keep something as a trust with him, he will not return it.)" (Using translation from Bukhārī 33)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ آيَةُ الْمُنَافِقِ ثَلَاثٌ إِذَا حَدَّثَ كَذَبَ وَإِذَا وَعَدَ أَخْلَفَ وَإِذَا اؤْتُمِنَ خَانَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Verily, among the worst of people is the one with two-facedness, who comes to these people with one face and to those people with another face."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ مِنْ شَرِّ النَّاسِ ذَا الْوَجْهَيْنِ الَّذِي يَأْتِي هَؤُلَاءِ بِوَجْهٍ وَهَؤُلَاءِ بِوَجْهٍ  

[Machine] "What disgusted the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , did not exist in a person more than lying. Indeed, this man used to lie in the presence of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , about lies, and he did not cease to carry it in himself until he realized that he had made a repentance greater than it. Abu Bakr said, 'In our version from Abdul Razzaq, this hadith is narrated from Ibn Abi Mulayka or someone else. Abdul Razzaq narrated to us without doubt and said, 'From Ibn Abi Mulayka,' and he did not mention or someone else. The sheikh has a witness from Ibn Abi Mulayka."  

مَا كَانَ خُلُقٌ أَبْغَضَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنَ الْكَذِبِ وَلَقَدْ كَانَ الرَّجُلُ يَكْذِبُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الْكِذْبَةَ فَمَا تَزَالُ فِي نَفْسِهِ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى يَعْلَمَ أَنَّهُ قَدْ أَحْدَثَ مِنْهَا تَوْبَةً قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ كَانَ فِي نُسْخَتِنَا عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّزَّاقِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ أَوْ غَيْرِهِ فَحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ بِغَيْرِ شَكٍّ فَقَالَ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ أَوْ غَيْرَهُ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَلَهُ شَاهِدٌ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ  

[Machine] There was nothing more detested by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ than lying, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ never tested anyone with lies, and if he rejected someone because of a lie, he would not reconcile with him until the person repented. Our sheikh mentioned this in Al-Mustadrak of what was narrated by Al-Asamm from Ibn Abd al-Hakam, from Ibn Wahb, from Muhammad ibn Muslim, from Ayyub al-Sakhtiyani, from Muhammad ibn Sirin, from Aisha.  

كَانَ شَيْءٌ أَبْغَضَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنَ الْكَذِبِ وَمَا جَرَّبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى أَحَدٍ كَذِبًا فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْهِ مَا كَانَ حَتَّى يَعْرِفَ مِنْهُ تَوْبَةً وَأَخْرَجَهُ شَيْخُنَا فِيمَا لَمْ يُمْلِ مِنْ كِتَابِ الْمُسْتَدْرَكِ عَنِ الْأَصَمِّ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَكَمِ عَنِ ابْنِ وَهْبٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ السَّخْتِيَانِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ؓ  

[Machine] That the Prophet ﷺ invalidated the testimony of a man due to a lie he told, as mentioned in my book by Musa ibn Abi Shaybah.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَبْطَلَ شَهَادَةَ رَجُلٍ فِي كِذْبَةٍ كَذِبَهَا كَذَا فِي كِتَابِي مُوسَى بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ bore witness against a man for a lie that he denied. This is the most correct opinion and it is a transmission.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ جَرَحَ شَهَادَةَ رَجُلٍ فِي كِذْبَةٍ كَذَبَهَا وَهَذَا أَصَحُّ وَهُوَ مُرْسَلٌ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Woe to the one who speaks and lies in order to make people laugh, woe to him, woe to him."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ وَيْلٌ لِلَّذِي يُحَدِّثُ فَيَكْذِبُ لِتَضْحَكَ بِهِ النَّاسُ وَيْلٌ لَهُ وَيْلٌ لَهُ  

[Machine] I heard Abu Bakr say, "Beware of lying, for indeed lying goes against faith. This saying is attributed and it is authentic. It has been narrated in the elevated form."  

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ ؓ يَقُولُ إِيَّاكُمْ وَالْكَذِبَ فَإِنَّ الْكَذِبَ مُجَانِبٌ لِلْإِيمَانِ هَذَا مَوْقُوفٌ وَهُوَ الصَّحِيحُ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ مَرْفُوعًا  

[Machine] "The Muslim is characterized by all qualities except betrayal and lying. This is prohibited and it is the correct behavior. It has been narrated as an elevated act."  

الْمُسْلِمُ يُطْبَعُ عَلَى كُلِّ الطَّبِيعَةِ غَيْرَ الْخِيَانَةِ وَالْكَذِبِ هَذَا مَوْقُوفٌ وَهُوَ الصَّحِيحُ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ مَرْفُوعًا  

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet, ﷺ , he said: "A believer is stamped on everything except for betrayal and lying."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ يُطْبَعُ الْمُؤْمِنُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا الْخِيَانَةَ وَالْكَذِبَ
