. Chapter 4: On Truthfulness Allah Almighty says, "O who you believe! Fear Allah and be with the truthful' (W9:129; H9:119) and the Almighty says, "Truthful men and truthful women," (33:35) and the Almighty says, "Being true to Allah would be better for them." (W47:20; H47:21) 54. Ibn Mas'ud reported that the Prophet, (PBUH), said, "Truthfulness leads to piety and piety leads to Jannah. A man should be truthful until he is written down as truthful in the sight of Allah. Lying leads to deviance and deviance leads to the Fire. A person lies to the point that he is written down as a liar in the sight of Allah." [Agreed upon] 55. Abu Muhammad al-Hasan ibn 'Ali ibn Abi Talib said, "I memorised from the Messenger of Allah, (PBUH): 'Abandon anything that gives you doubt for what gives you no doubt. Truthfulness is peace of mind and lying is doubt." [At-Tirmidhi]
