The Value of Truthfulness

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the importance of being truthful and honest in all aspects of life.

Hanzala b. 'Ali al-Aslaml reported that he had heard Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) as saying that Allah's Messenger had said: By Him In Whose Hand is my life; the rest of the hadith is the same.
وَحَدَّثَنِيهِ حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ حَنْظَلَةَ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الأَسْلَمِيِّ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، - رضى الله عنه - يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِهِمَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith emphasizes the importance of truthfulness and honesty in all aspects of life. It was narrated by Hanzala b. 'Ali al-Aslami who reported that he heard Abu Huraira say that Allah's Messenger said “By Him In Whose Hand is my life”. This phrase implies a strong sense of commitment to truth and honesty as it suggests that one should be willing to put their own life on the line for what they believe in. Furthermore, this hadith also serves as a reminder to always strive for integrity in our actions and words so that we can be trusted by others and maintain our credibility with them.

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ also taught us through this hadith that we should never compromise on our values or beliefs even if it means putting ourselves at risk or facing difficult consequences because ultimately, truth will prevail over falsehood no matter what happens in this world.
