1971. 'Abdullāh bin Mas'ūd narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Abide by truthfulness. For indeed truthfulness leads to righteousness. And indeed righteousness leads to Paradise. A man continues telling
the truth and trying hard to tell the truth until he is recorded with Allāh as a truthful person. Refrain from falsehood. For indeed falsehood leads to wickedness, and wickedness leads to the Fire. A slave (of Allāh) continues lying and trying hard to lie, until he is recorded with Allāh as a liar.” (Ṣaḥīḥ)
There are narrations on this topic from Abū Bakr [Aṣ-Ṣiddīq], ‘Umar, ‘Abdullāh bin Ash-Shikh-khīr, and Ibn ‘Umar.
[Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ.

Truthfulness as a habit in man is not only a commendable virtue in itself, it also has the effect of moulding the person into a noble individual and virtuous in all the spheres of life, which eventually makes him deserving of a place in Paradise.
