[15] The Character Trait Most Hated By The Messenger

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

Aishah, may Allah be pleased with her, narrated:

“There was no traite more hated to Allah’s Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, than lying. A man would speak based on lies in the presence of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and he would not be content until he knew that he had repented.” [Sahih Tirmidhi 1973]

Yazeed ibn Maysarah, may Allah have mercy on him, said:

“Lying feeds every evil, just as water feeds the roots of trees”. (1)
