"لا يُؤْمِنُ عَبْدٌ الإيمَانَ كُلَّهُ حَتَّى يَتْركَ الكذِبَ فِي الْمُزَاحَةِ، وَيَتْركَ الْمِرَاءَ وَإنْ كَانَ صَادِقًا".

Perfection of faith is not attained unless one abandons lies and argumentation

أحمد:٨٦٣٠ – حَدَّثَنَا حُجَيْن بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى أَبُو عُمَرَ؛ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ؛ عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ أُذَيْنٍ؛ عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ؛ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا يُؤْمِنُ الْعَبْدُ الْإِيمَانَ كُلَّهُ حَتَّى يَتْرُكَ الْكَذِبَ فِي الْمُزَاحَةِ وَيَتْرُكَ الْمِرَاءَ وَإِنْ كَانَ صَادِقًا۔»
