49ـ عَلَيْكَ بِالصِّدْقِ فَمَنْ صَدَقَ في أقْوالِهِ جَلَّ قَدْرُهُ.

49ـ عَلَيْكَ بِالصِّدْقِ فَمَنْ صَدَقَ في أقْوالِهِ جَلَّ قَدْرُهُ. The end result of truthfulness is salvation and security. 50ـ عاقِبَةُ الصِّدْقِ نَجاةٌ وَسَلامَةٌ. Truthfulness has diminished among the people and dishonesty has become abundant; love is been expressed by [people with their] tongue while they hate each other with their hearts. 51ـ غاضَ الصِّدْقُ فِي النّاسِ، وفاضَ الكِذْبُ وَاسْتُعْمِلَتِ المَوَدَّةُ بِاللِّسانِ، وتَشاحَنُوا بِالقُلُوبِ.

For everything there is an adornment and the adornment of speech is truthfulness. 52ـ لِكُلِّ شَيْء حيلَةٌ (حِلْيَةٌ وحِلْيَةُ)، وحِيلَةُ المَنْطِقِ الصِّدْقُ. For [the speaker of] truth there is benefit. 53ـ لِلْصِّدقِ نُجْعَةٌ. Let the most trustworthy of people in your estimation be the one who is most truthful in his speech. 54ـ لِيَكُنْ أوْثَقُ النّاسِ لَدَيْكَ أنْطَقَهُمْ بِالصِّدْقِ. Let your recourse be to the truth, for indeed truth is the best companion.

55ـ لِيَكُنْ مَرْجِعُكَ إلَى الصِّدْقِ، فَإنَّ الصِّدْقَ خَيْرُ قَرين. If things were to be differentiated from each other, honesty would be with courage and cowardice would be with dishonesty. 56ـ لَوْ تَمَيَّزَتِ الأشْياءُ لَكانَ الصِّدْقُ مَعَ الشَّجاعَةِ وَكانَ الجُبْنُ مَعَ الكِذْبُ. A goodly mention is better for a person than the wealth that he bequeaths to the one who does not praise him. 57ـ لِسانُ الصِّدْقِ خَيْرٌ لِلْمَرْءِ مِنَ المالِ يُوَرِّثُهُ مَنْ لايَحْمَدُهُ.

One who speaks the truth becomes successful. 58ـ مَنْ قالَ بِالصِّدْقِ أنْجَحَ. Whoever is known for his truthfulness, his lies are [also] accepted. 59ـ مَنْ عُرِفَ بِالصِّدْقِ جازَ كِذْبُهُ. Whoever turns aside from truth, his path becomes narrow. 60ـ مَنْ جارَ عَنِ الصِّدْقِ ضاقَ مَذْهَبُهُ. One whose speech is truthful, his loftiness is increased. 61ـ مَنْ صَدَقَ مَقالُهُ زادَ جَلالُهُ.
