English translation

[6638] 104 - (... ) It was narrated that 'Abdullâh bin Mas'ûd said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Truthfulness is righteousness and righteousness leads to Paradise. A person may endeavour to tell the truth until he is recorded (with Allâh) as truthful. Lying is wickedness and wickedness leads to the Fire. A man may endeavour to tell lies until he is recorded as a liar.'"

Arabic text

104 - (2607) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَهَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ الصِّدْقَ بِرٌّ، وَإِنَّ الْبِرَّ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ، وَإِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيَتَحَرَّى الصِّدْقَ، حَتَّى يُكْتَبَ عِنْدَ اللهِ صِدِّيقًا، وَإِنَّ الْكَذِبَ فُجُورٌ، وَإِنَّ الْفُجُورَ يَهْدِي إِلَى النَّارِ، وَإِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيَتَحَرَّى الْكَذِبَ، حَتَّى يُكْتَبَ كَذَّابًا» قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ فِي رِوَايَتِهِ: عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
