1972. Ibn ‘Umar narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: “When the slave (of Allāh) lies, the angel goes a mile away from him because of the stench of what he has done.”
Yahya said: “(I asked) ‘Abdur-Raḥīm bin Hārūn if he approved of it, and he said ‘Yes’.”[1] (Da’if)
[Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan [Jayyid] Gharīb, we do not know of it except from this route. ‘Abdur-Raḥīm bin Hārūn is alone in narrating it.

Commentary
Just as the things of the world have good and bad smell, good and bad actions and words also have good and bad smell that the angels of heaven sense, much as we sense the good and foul smell of material things and objects.
