Jami at-Tirmidhi 2518 (Book 37, Hadith 104) #28153
Truth and Falsehood

SUMMARY: The truth brings peace of mind while falsehood sows doubt.

Al-Hasan bin 'Ali said: "I remember that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'Leave what makes you in doubt for what does not make you in doubt. The truth brings tranquility while falsehood sows doubt'." Another chain reports a similar narration.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُوسَى الأَنْصَارِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ بُرَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْحَوْرَاءِ السَّعْدِيِّ، قَالَ قُلْتُ لِلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ مَا حَفِظْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ قَالَ حَفِظْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ دَعْ مَا يَرِيبُكَ إِلَى مَا لاَ يَرِيبُكَ فَإِنَّ الصِّدْقَ طُمَأْنِينَةٌ وَإِنَّ الْكَذِبَ رِيبَةٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَفِي الْحَدِيثِ قِصَّةٌ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَأَبُو الْحَوْرَاءِ السَّعْدِيُّ اسْمُهُ رَبِيعَةُ بْنُ شَيْبَانَ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏ حَدَّثَنَا بُنْدَارٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ بُرَيْدٍ، فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of truth and how it can bring peace of mind. It teaches us that we should leave things that make us doubtful and instead focus on things that do not cause any doubts. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said that the truth brings tranquility, while falsehood sows doubt. This means that when we are truthful, our hearts will be at ease because we know we have done the right thing, but if we lie or deceive others, our conscience will be troubled by guilt and worry. We should always strive to tell the truth even if it is difficult or uncomfortable because it will bring us inner peace in the long run.
