The Muslim is Honest and Truthful in All His
Affairs
|
From Abu Hurairah (radiyallaahu 'anhu)
who said that Allaah's Messenger (salallaahu 'alaihi wa'sallam) said:
Three things are the sign of the hypocrite: when he speaks he
tells lies, when he promises he breaks it and when he is trusted he proves
to be dishonest. [26] | So
he is truthful and honest in his speech, faithful to his promise, trustworthy in
carrying out that which he has been entrusted with. He does not deceive or
defraud, he does not tell lies and is not guilty of hypocrisy. So truthfulness
and honesty is one of the chief good qualities, whereas falsehood is the head of
corruption and evil. So his honesty keeps him far away from evil and foul deeds
and sickness of the heart. Therefore whatever action he does, he does it for
Allaah, the One free and far removed from all defects, not to attain some
worldly position, fame or repute. So his motto is:
Knowledge for
Knowledge
