Ways of The Prophet (S.A.W)

Lie

Hadrat lbn Umar (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated ALLAH’s Messenger (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) as saying, “When a man lies, the angel removes himself a mile from him because of the bad odour produced by his lies.” [Tirmizi]

In another tradition recorded in Jami Tirmizi, it occurs that the Messenger of ALLAH (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam), one day told his companions, “Should I not tell you what are the greatest sins?” He said this thrice Then he said, “Associating other object of worship with ALLAH, disobedience to parents, false witnessing and speaking a lie.” The narrator states that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) had so long been sitting propped against something and now he straightened himself and repeated what he had said, till we wished it would be better if he said no more, for at that time he was in such an animated state that we thought that he had a great burden on his mind and we wished him to be quiet to avoid the pressure on his heart. [Maarif -ul- Hadis]

Hadrat Abu Umamah al-Bahili (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that the Messenger of ALLAH (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, “Whoever usurps the right of another Muslim through (false) swearing, then ALLAH has declared Hell to be wajib (obligatory) for him. One of those present asked, “Messenger of ALLAH, even if that be a paltry thing’. He replied, “Yes, even if that be a branch of salvadova persica (a wild tree found in Jungles).” [Muslim] Hadrat Abu Zarr (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that the Messenger of ALLAH (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, There are three to whom ALLAH will not speak on the day of resurrection, at whom he will not look, and whom he will not declare pure, and they will have a painful punishment. “Hadrat Abu Zarr  (Radi  Allahu  Ta’ala  Anhu)  said  “They  are  losers  and disappointed. Who are they, Messenger of ALLAH? He replied, “The one who wears robe trailing lour than the permissible limit (as is the fashion in the proud people) the one who wants people to express gratitude for whatever good he has done to them and the one who posts the sale of his commodity by false swearing.” [Muslim]

Hadrat Abdullah bin Masud (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated ALLAH’s Messenger (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) as saying, “If any one takes false oath before someone ill authority and there by acting appropriates property belonging to a Muslim, ALLAH will be very angry with him when he meets Him on the day of resurrection.
