"Hadeeth Of The Day"

Subject: Do not tell lies   It was narrated that 'Ali (may Allaah be pleased with him): "The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: 'Do not tell lies about me. Whoever tells lies about me, let him enter the Fire.'"   (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 106).     It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Whoever tells lies about me, let him take his place in Hell."   (narrated by al-Bukhaari, 110; Muslim, 3).                              Lying in buying and selling. It was narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "There are three to whom Allaah will not speak on the Day of Resurrection and He will not look at them or praise them, and they will have a painful torment." The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) repeated this three times. Abu Dharr said: "May they be doomed and lost, who are they, O Messenger of Allaah?" He said, "The one who lets his garment hang below his ankles, the one who reminds others of his favours, and the one who disposes of his goods by swearing a false oath."   (Narrated by Muslim, 106)   It was narrated that Hakeem ibn Hizaam (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: "The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: 'The two parties involved in a transaction have the option [of cancelling it] until they part. If they are honest and truthful, their transaction will be blessed for them and if they conceal something and tell lies, the blessing of their transaction will be wiped out.'"   (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1973; Muslim, 532)     "Allaah has enjoined truthfulness and honesty, and He has forbidden lies and concealment with regard to matters which should be known and revealed to people, as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said in a hadeeth whose authenticity is agreed upon: 'The two parties involved in a transaction have the option [of cancelling it] until they part. If they are honest and truthful, their transaction will be blessed for them and if they conceal something and tell lies, the blessing of their transaction will be wiped out.' And Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):   'O you who believe! Stand out firmly for Allaah as just witnesses; and let not the enmity and hatred of others make you avoid justice. Be just: that is nearer to piety'   [al-Maa'idah 5:8]."   (Minhaaj al-Sunnah, 1/16)     Lying to make people laugh It was narrated that Mu'aawiyah ibn Haydah said: "I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: 'Woe to the one who talks to make the people laugh and tells lies, woe to him, woe to him.'"   (narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 235. He said: this is a hasan hadeeth. Also narrated by Abu Dawood, 4990 --------------------
