4 - Amirul Mo-mineen (a.

4 - Amirul Mo-mineen (a.s.) is reported to have said: The biggest sin in the sight of God is falsehood. 5 - The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said: One does not lie but because of the meanness of heart. 6 -Amirul Mo-mineen (a.s.) said: Man does not get the taste of Faith until he gives up falsehood, be it a joke or serious grave. 7 - In another Hadith they asked the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.): Can a Faithful man be timid? He replied: Yes.

He was asked again: Is it possible that once in a while he may be a miser? He said: Yes. Then they inquired: Can he even be a liar? He said: No. 8 -Amirul Mo-mineen (a.s.) said: Refrain from befriending a lair as he is like a mirage which makes the distant near for you and the near distant. Facts that we can derive from these narrations are: A - Falsehood is the source of all sins. B - falsehood or lying is not compatible with Faith. C - lying is the destroyer of peace of mind.

D - Lying comes out of the meanness of the soul. All kinds of falsehood or lying are bad. But attributing falsehood to or lying about God and His Prophet is the worst of all. Sometimes it happens when a man makes a false claim of being a messenger of God or that he says something false about God and His Prophet. As Abi Baseer says that he heard from Imam Sadiq (a.s.) who said: Lying nullifies fasting Abu Baseer says I asked the Imam: We are destroyed.

He said: No, the falsehood which a fast null and void is that in which somebody says something false about God, His Messenger and the Masoom Imams (a.s.). Amirul Mo-mineen (a.s.) while referring to a sermon of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) says: Anyone who says something false about me intentionally will find his dwelling in Hell. Then added: Those who narrate??? had the are of four groups and fifth will not be found: 1 -Hypocrites: The hypocrite put a mask on his face while making a statement.

He neither is afraid of sinning nor he refrains from it and he willfully attributes a lie to the Messenger (a.s.). If people had known that a hypocrite is a liar they would not accept anything from him and would not testify him but since they are unaware of the fact they say: they are the companions of the Messenger (a.s.), they have seen the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) and have obtained knowledge from him.

Due to this reason they get influenced by the hypocrite while Allah has already cautioned, as you should be cautioned, about the conditions of the hypocrites. He narrated to you their attributes.
