Hadith 21

(The book) ‘Misbah Al Sharia’ –
‘Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘The truthfulness is a Noor without irradiation except in his world, like the sun, all things are illuminated by it, overwhelming it from without any reduction occurring upon its meaning. And the true truthful, he is the one who believes every liar due to the reality of the truthfulness of what is with him, and it is the meaning which no one hears anything besides it or opposite to it. For example, Adam-as believed Iblees-la in his-la lies when he-la swore to him-as falsely because of the absence of the essence of the lies in Adam-as. Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Said: and We did not find for him having determination [20: 115]. And because Iblees-la innovated something, he-la was the first one to innovate it, and it was not conventional, apparently, and esoterically. Thus, he-la incurred loss due to his-la lies upon the earning that he-la did not benefit with him from the honesty of Adam-as upon remaining forever. And Adam-as declared by his believing his-la lies, by the Testimony of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Negating his-as determination from what contradicts His-azwj Covenant based upon the reality, upon the meaning he-as was not reduced by anything from his-as choosing him-la with his-la lies. The truthfulness is a quality of the truthful ones, and the reality of truthfulness is what regarding the Purification by Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic for His-azwj servant, like what He‑azwj Mentioned about the truthfulness of Isa-as Ibn Maryam-as during the Qiyamah, by a cause of what He-azwj Indicated to him-as of his-as truthfulness mirroring the truthful ones from the men from the community of Muhammad-saww, so the Mighty and Majestic Said: ‘“This Day the truthful shall benefit from their truthfulness. [5: 119] – the Verse. And Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘The truthfulness is a sword of Allah-azwj in His-azwj earth and His-azwj sky, wherever it falls with it, leads. So, whenever you want to know whether you are truthful or a liar, then look into the purpose of your meaning and the interior of your claim, and fault it with a balance from Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic during the Qiyamah. Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Says: And the weighing on that Day would be the Truth. [7: 8]. When your meaning equates with your claim, the truthfulness is proven for you, and the lowest limit of the truthfulness is that the tongue does not oppose the heart, nor does the heart (oppose) the tongue, and an example of the truthful one is described with what we‑asws have mentioned, like the one whose soul is to come out, and if it does not come out, so what can he do? ’’[21]
