"أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ سَلُوا اللهَ المُعَافَاةَ فَإنَّهُ لَمْ يُعْطَ أحَدٌ مِثْلَ اليَقِينَ بَعْدَ المُعَافَاة، وَلَا أَشَدَّ مِنَ الرِّيبَةِ بَعْدَ الكُفْر، وعَلَيكمْ بالصِّدقِ فَإِنَّهُ يَهْدِى إِلَى البرِّ وَهُمَا فِي الجَنَّةِ، وَإيَّاكُمْ والكَذِبَ فَإِنَّهُ يَهْدِى إِلى الفجُور وَهُمَا فِي النَّارِ".

I came to Madinah one year after the death of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and I found Abu Bakr addressing the people. He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood before us last year... and he wept and struggled to speak three times, then he said: 0 people, ask Allah for well-being for no one is given, after certainty of faith, anything like well being and nothing worse than doubt after disbelief. You should be truthful, for it guides to righteousness and they lead to Paradise. Beware of lying, for it guides to immorality and they both lead to Hell.
قَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِسَنَةٍ فَأَلْفَيْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ يَخْطُبُ النَّاسَ فَقَالَ قَامَ فِينَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَامَ الْأَوَّلِ فَخَنَقَتْهُ الْعَبْرَةُ ثَلاثَ مِرَارٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ سَلُوا اللهَ الْمُعَافَاةَ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يُؤْتَ أَحَدٌ مِثْلَ يَقِينٍ بَعْدَ مُعَافَاةٍ وَلا أَشَدَّ مِنْ رِيبَةٍ بَعْدَ كُفْرٍ وَعَلَيْكُمْ بِالصِّدْقِ فَإِنَّهُ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْبِرِّ وَهُمَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالْكَذِبَ فَإِنَّهُ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْفُجُورِ وَهُمَا فِي النَّارِ

قَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَقِيتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ يَخْطُبُ النَّاسَ وَقَالَ قَامَ فِينَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَامَ أَوَّلٍ فَخَنَقَتْهُ الْعَبْرَةُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ سَلُوا اللَّهَ الْمُعَافَاةَ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يُعْطَ أَحَدٌ مِثْلَ الْيَقِينِ بَعْدَ الْمُعَافَاةِ وَلَا أَشَدَّ مِنَ الرِّيبَةِ بَعْدَ الْكُفْرِ وَعَلَيْكُمْ بِالصِّدْقِ فَإِنَّهُ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْبِرِّ وَهُمَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالْكَذِبَ فَإِنَّهُ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْفُجُورِ وَهُمَا فِي النَّارِ» أَرَادَ بِهِ مُرْتَكِبَهُمَا لَا نَفْسَهُمَا
the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "You must be truthful, for it leads to righteousness and they are both in Paradise. And beware of dishonesty, for it leads to wickedness and they are both in the Hellfire."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «عَلَيْكُمْ بِالصِّدْقِ فَإِنَّهُ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْبِرِّ وَهُمَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالْكَذِبَ فَإِنَّهُ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْفُجُورِ وَهُمَا فِي النَّارِ»

"عَلَيكُمْ بالصدق فَإِنَّهُ يَهدى إلى البر، وهما في الجنة، وإياكم والكذبَ، فإِنه يَهدِى إِلى الفجورِ، وهما في النار".
