_Sahih Bukhari Hadees No. 14_
** Narrated by Abu Hurairah (RA) **
The fourteenth hadees in Sahih Bukhari highlights the importance of honesty and truthfulness. Abu Hurairah (RA) narrates that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:
"The truthful person will be recorded as truthful, and the liar will be recorded as a liar."
(Translation: Sahih Bukhari, Vol. 1, Book 2, Hadees 14)
This hadees emphasizes the significance of honesty and integrity in a person's speech and actions. The Prophet (peace be upon him) teaches that truthfulness is a vital trait that will be reflected in a person's character and reputation, while dishonesty will lead to a tarnished reputation and consequences in the hereafter.
This hadees serves as a reminder to Muslims to always strive for truthfulness and sincerity in their words and deeds, recognizing that honesty is a fundamental value in Islam and a key aspect of personal integrity.
