Narrated to us Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah and Hannad ibn al-Sarri, they said: narrated to us Abu al-Ahwas, from Mansur, from Abu Wa'il, from Abdullah ibn Mas'ud, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Indeed, truthfulness is righteousness, and indeed, righteousness guides to Paradise. And indeed, a servant continues to seek truthfulness until he is recorded with Allah as a truthful one. And indeed, lying is wickedness, and indeed, wickedness guides to the Fire. And indeed, a servant continues to seek lying until he is recorded with Allah as a liar." Ibn Abi Shaybah said in his narration: "from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him."
