معاویہ بن حیدہ قشیری رضی اللہ عنہ کہتے ہیں میں نے رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کو فرماتے سنا: تباہی ہے اس کے لیے جو بولتا ہے تو جھوٹ بولتا ہے تاکہ اس سے لوگوں کو ہنسائے، تباہی ہے اس کے لیے، تباہی ہے اس کے لیے۔

What it means

This Hadīth includes severe warning against lying, and a promise of destruction for the person who tells lies for the sake of joking and making people laugh. This is one of the most abominable acts, and it is strictly forbidden. It belongs to evil manners that the believer must shun and deem himself far above it. A believer should purify his tongue from lying in all situations, except in the few situations in which lying is justified in the Shariah.

Just as it is prohibited to tell lies for the sake of joking, it is also prohibited to listen to such lies they are known to be as such. Rather, it is an obligation on the listeners to express their disapproval of it.
