حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رضى الله عنه عَنِ

النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِنَّ الصِّدْقَ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْبِرِّ، وَإِنَّ الْبِرَّ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ، وَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَصْدُقُ حَتَّى يَكُونَ صِدِّيقًا، وَإِنَّ الْكَذِبَ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْفُجُورِ، وَإِنَّ الْفُجُورَ يَهْدِي إِلَى النَّارِ، وَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَكْذِبُ، حَتَّى يُكْتَبَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ كَذَّابًا»

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “Truthfulness leads to righteousness, and righteousness leads to Paradise. And a man keeps on telling the truth until he becomes a truthful person. Falsehood leads to Al-Fajur (i.e. wickedness, evil-doing), and Al-Fajur (wickedness) leads to the (Hell) Fire, and a man may keep on telling lies till he is written before Allah, a liar.”

‘আবদুল্লাহ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ সত্য নেকীর দিকে পরিচালিত করে আর নেকী জান্নাতে পৌঁছায়। আর মানুষ সত্যের উপর কায়িম থেকে অবশেষে সিদ্দীক-এর দরজা লাভ করে। আর মিথ্যা মানুষকে পাপের দিকে নিয়ে যায়, পাপ তাকে জাহান্নামে নিয়ে যায়। আর মানুষ মিথ্যা কথা বলতে বলতে অবশেষে আল্লাহর কাছে মহামিথ্যাচারী প্রতিপন্ন হয়ে যায়।

ہم سے عثمان بن ابی شیبہ نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا ہم سے جریر نے بیان کیا، ان سے منصور نے بیان کیا، ان سے ابووائل نے بیان کیا اور ان سے عبداللہ بن مسعود رضی اللہ عنہ نے بیان کیا کہ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا ”بلاشبہ سچ آدمی کو نیکی کی طرف بلاتا ہے اور نیکی جنت کی طرف لے جاتی ہے اور ایک شخص سچ بولتا رہتا ہے یہاں تک کہ وہ صدیق کا لقب اور مرتبہ حاصل کر لیتا ہے اور بلاشبہ جھوٹ برائی کی طرف لے جاتا ہے اور برائی جہنم کی طرف اور ایک شخص جھوٹ بولتا رہتا ہے، یہاں تک کہ وہ اللہ کے یہاں بہت جھوٹا لکھ دیا جاتا ہے۔“

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Utsman bin Abu Syaibah] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Jarir] dari [Manshur] dari [Abu Wa`il] dari [Abdullah] radliallahu 'anhu dari Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam beliau bersabda: "Sesungguhnya kejujuran akan membimbing pada kebaikan, dan kebaikan itu akan membimbing ke surga, sesungguhnya jika seseorang yang senantiasa berlaku jujur hingga ia akan dicatat sebagai orang yang jujur.

Dan sesungguhnya kedustaan itu akan mengantarkan pada kejahatan, dan sesungguhnya kejahatan itu akan menggiring ke neraka. Dan sesungguhnya jika seseorang yang selalu berdusta sehingga akan dicatat baginya sebagai seorang pendusta

Abdullah r.a.'dan rivayete göre; "Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem şöyle buyurdu: Şüphesiz sıdk (doğruluk) birr (iyiliğ)e götürür. Şüphesiz birr de cennet'e götürür. Gerçek şu ki, kişi doğru söyleyip durdukça sonunda sıddik olur. Muhakkak yalan da fucur (günah)a götürür. fucur da ateşe götürür. Şüphe yok ki kişi yalan söyleyip durdukça sonunda Allah'ın yanında da kezzab (çok yalancı) diye yazılır." Diğer tahric edenler: Tirmizi Birr; Müslim, Birr

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) enjoined truthfulness and informed that adherence to it leads to constant good deeds. Persistence in doing good deeds leads the doer to Paradise, and he continues to adopt truthfulness in secret and public and deserves to be labeled as most truthful - this is extreme truthfulness.

Then, he (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) warned of lying and false speech, for it prompts a person to deviate from uprightness and to engage in evil, corruption, and sins; then, it leads him to Hellfire. He continues to tell more and more lies until he is recorded with Allah among the liars.

What it teaches

  • Truthfulness is a noble trait that one can possess by diligently seeking to acquire it. If a person keeps telling the truth and strives to tell the truth, truthfulness will turn into second nature to him, and thus he will be recorded with Allah among the truthful and pious ones.
  • Lying is a bad trait that a person acquires through long-term practice and the keenness to engage in it through words and deeds until it becomes part of his nature and disposition. Then, he will be recorded with Allah Almighty as a frequent liar.
  • Truthfulness refers to the truthfulness of the tongue, the opposite of lying; truthfulness in intention, which is sincerity; truthfulness in the determination to do something good a person has intended; truthfulness in actions, the least of which is the uprightness of one's innermost and outward character; and truthfulness in situations, such as truthfulness in fear, hope, and so on. Whoever is characterized by these is the most truthful, and whoever is characterized by some of them is truthful.
