hadith 1216

Imam Reza (a.s) quoted on the authority of Imam Sadiq (a.s)

“There are occasions when one tells the truth about his believing brother, but this act hurts his believing brother and to God it is as if he has lied. There are also occasions when one wants to bring some benefit to his believing brother and lies, but to God it is as if has told the truth.”

عن الرضا (عليه السلام) قال

قال أبو عبد الله (عليه السلام): إن الرجل ليصدق على أخيه فيناله من صدقه على أخيه عنت فيكون كاذبا عند الله، وإن الرجل ليكذب على أخيه يريد به منفعته فيكون عند الله صادقا.

hadith 1228

Imam Baqir (a.s) said: “Do not approach or make friends with the fools, the misers, the cowards, or the liars. Fools will harm you instead of benefiting you. Misers will take things from you and not give you anything in return. Cowards will run away from you and their parents. Liars will testify but will not tell the truth.”

قال الباقر (عليه السلام): لا تقارن ولا تؤاخ أربعة: الأحمق، والبخيل، والجبان والكذاب، أما الأحمق فإنه يريد أن ينفعك فيضرك، وأما البخيل فإنه يأخذ منك ولا يعطيك، وأما الجبان فإنه يهرب عنك وعن والديه، وأما الكذاب فإنه يصدق ولا يصدق.
