Avoid lying speech and bearing false witness .

This hadith emphasizes the importance of avoiding false witness, which is considered equivalent to associating others with Allah. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ recited a verse from the Quran that states “And shun lying speech [false statements], Hunafa’ Lillah [ie, worshiping none but Allah], not associating partners [in worship] to Him”. This verse serves as a reminder for us to stay away from false statements and instead focus on worshipping only Allah without any partners or associates. We must remember that bearing false witness is a major sin in Islam and should be avoided at all costs.
