حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنَّ الصِّدْقَ يَهْدِي إِلَی الْبِرِّ وَإِنَّ الْبِرَّ يَهْدِي إِلَی الْجَنَّةِ وَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَصْدُقُ حَتَّی يَکُونَ صِدِّيقًا وَإِنَّ الْکَذِبَ يَهْدِي إِلَی الْفُجُورِ وَإِنَّ الْفُجُورَ يَهْدِي إِلَی النَّارِ وَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَکْذِبُ حَتَّی يُکْتَبَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ کَذَّابًا
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 6094
Narrated `Abdullah: The Prophet said, "Truthfulness leads to righteousness, and righteousness leads to Paradise. And a man keeps on telling the truth until he becomes a truthful person. Falsehood leads to Al-Fajur (i.e. wickedness, evil-doing), and Al-Fajur (wickedness) leads to the (Hell) Fire, and a man may keep on telling lies till he is written before Allah, a liar."
