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.
