Selected Sayings of The Holy Prophet of Islam — Page 59
82. Abdullah, God be pleased with him, narrates that the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: "You should adhere to truthfulness because it leads to virtue and virtue leads to Paradise. If a person speaks the truth and remains in pursuit of truth, a time comes when he is adjudged truthful by Allah. Beware of lying, because lying leads to vice and vice leads to Hell. If a person continues to tell lies and persists in doing so, a time comes when he is adjudged a liar of the first degree by Allah. " (Muslim) 83. Abu Bakra, God be pleased with him, narrates that the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: "Should I not tell you about the worst of sins?" We said, 'Please do, O Messenger of Allah. ' The Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: "Associating anyone with Allah and disobeying parents. " The Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, was reclining then he sat up and said, 'Beware of telling lies. ' He kept on repeating it till we wished he would stop. " (Bukhari) 60
