Sunan Ibn Majah 3849 (Book 34, Hadith 23) #33203
The Importance of Truth and Brotherhood

SUMMARY: This hadith emphasizes the importance of truth, righteousness, and brotherhood among Muslims.

It was narrated from Awsat (bin Isma'il) Al-Bajali that : he heard Abu Bakr, when the Prophet (SAAS) had passed away, saying: "The Messenger of Allah (SAAS) stood in this place where I am standing, last year". Then Abu Bakr wept, then he said: "You must adhere to the truth, for with it comes righteousness and they both lead to Paradise. And you must beware of lying for with it comes immorality, and they both lead to Hell. Ask Allah for Al-Mu'afah, for no one is given anything after certainty that is better than Mu'afah. Do not envy one another, do not hate one another, do not sever ties with one another, do not turn your backs on one another and be, O slaves of Allah, brothers".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ خُمَيْرٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سُلَيْمَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَوْسَطَ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْبَجَلِيِّ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ، حِينَ قُبِضَ النَّبِيُّ ـ ـ يَقُولُ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ فِي مَقَامِي هَذَا عَامَ الأَوَّلِ ثُمَّ بَكَى أَبُو بَكْرٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالصِّدْقِ فَإِنَّهُ مَعَ الْبِرِّ وَهُمَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالْكَذِبَ فَإِنَّهُ مَعَ الْفُجُورِ وَهُمَا فِي النَّارِ وَسَلُوا اللَّهَ الْمُعَافَاةَ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يُؤْتَ أَحَدٌ بَعْدَ الْيَقِينِ خَيْرًا مِنَ الْمُعَافَاةِ وَلاَ تَحَاسَدُوا وَلاَ تَبَاغَضُوا وَلاَ تَقَاطَعُوا وَلاَ تَدَابَرُوا وَكُونُوا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ إِخْوَانًا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith was narrated by Awsat bin Isma’il Al-Bajali who heard Abu Bakr say that the Prophet Muhammad stood in the same place a year ago. Abu Bakr then wept before saying that Muslims should adhere to truth as it leads to righteousness and Paradise. He also warned against lying as it leads to immorality and Hell. He then advised them to ask Allah for forgiveness, not envy one another, not hate one another, not sever ties with one another or turn their backs on each other but instead be brothers in faith. This hadith emphasizes the importance of truthfulness which is essential for righteousness and ultimately leads us closer to Allah's mercy in Paradise while lying is immoral and will lead us away from Allah's mercy into Hellfire. It also encourages brotherhood among Muslims so they can support each other on their journey towards Jannah together without any animosity or hatred between them.
