Takhrij Hadith 1853: "Adhere to truthfulness, for truthfulness…"

Adhere to truthfulness, for truthfulness leads to righteousness, and righteousness leads to Paradise. A man continues to speak the truth and strive to be truthful until he is recorded with Allah as a truthful one. And beware of lying, for lying leads to wickedness, and wickedness leads to the Fire. A man continues to lie and strive to lie until he is recorded with Allah as a liar.
