• Imam Jafar e Sadiq (a.s.) said, “ The first to bear witness of the truthful
person will be Allah! Then He will bear witness that what He says is
always the truth!”
• Hazrat Ameer al Momineen (a.s.) says, “ The adornment of words is the
truth. Tell the truth. The truthful persons are remembered by Allah with the
sobriquet of Sadiqeen! He is always with the truthful. Save yourselves
from falsehood. Falsehood takes one away from the Faith. The truthful is
at the threshold of deliverence. The one who lies will be in the abyss of
shame and destruction.
• It is narrated from Imam Mohammed Baqir (a.s.) that Allah has provided
locks for sins and hypocricy is their key. Telling lies is worst than
consuming alcohols.
• Then the Imam (a.s.) said,” Telling lies is tantamount to spoiling one’s
faith!”
• Imam Jafar e Sadiq (a.s.) says that telling lies about Allah and his Prophet
(a.s.) is a major sin.”
• It is narrated from Imam Mohammed Baqir (a.s.) that the first to bear
witness about a lier will be Allah. Then will follow the witness of the two
angels who keep a record of the words and deeds of every person. In the
end the person himself will confess to his lying.
• It is narrated from Imam Jafar e Sadiq (a.s.) that Hazrat Eesa (a.s.) said, “
The face of a liar will lose its radiance and good looks!”
CONTENTMENT & OPULENCE
The Prophet of Allah (a.s.) said, “ O Abu Dharr! Adopt contentment that you
raise yourself in the consideration of Allah!” Abu Dharr asked, “ Ya Hazrat!
What is Ghina or contentment?” the Prophet (a.s.) replied, “ The contented
person is one who has two square meals for the day and the night!”
The Prophet of Allah (a.s.) said, “ O Abu Dharr! One who is happy with the
frugal sustenance provided by Allah, Allah will be satisfied with his small
acts!”
ABSTAIN FROM UNTRUTHS
The Prophet of Allah (a.s.) has said, “One who protects that which lies
between his two jaws and that which is between the two loins, Allah will give
him a place in the Heaven!” Protection of the tongue consists in abstaining
from telling lies. There should be thruth both in the words and deeds of a
person.
