Imam Ali (a.s) said in a part of a long sermon: “O' People! Try to be honest because God is the helper of the honest people. Avoid telling lies since it will ruin your faith. Know that honest people are on the verge of nobility and honor, while liars are on the verge of collapse and destruction.”
وقال أيضا - في خطبة طويلة -: أيها الناس، ألا فاصدقوا إن الله مع الصادقين، وجانبوا الكذب فإنه مجانب للإيمان، ألا إن الصادق على شفا منجاة وكرامة، ألا إن الكاذب على شفا ردي وهلكة.
