Musnad Ahmad 66 (Book 1, Hadith 63) #33761
The Path to Paradise

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that the best thing a person can have is well-being, and that truthfulness and righteousness lead to Paradise while lying and immorality lead to Hell.

It was narrated from Abu 'Ubaidah that Abu Bakr stood up one year after the death of the Messenger of Allah and said: The Messenger of Allah stood among us last year and said: 'The son of Adam has not been given anything better than well-being, so ask Allah for well-being. You should be truthful and righteous, for they lead to Paradise, and you should beware of lying and immorality, for they lead to Hell'.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَامَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ بِعَامٍ فَقَالَ قَامَ فِينَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَامَ الْأَوَّلِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ ابْنَ آدَمَ لَمْ يُعْطَ شَيْئًا أَفْضَلَ مِنْ الْعَافِيَةِ فَاسْأَلُوا اللَّهَ الْعَافِيَةَ وَعَلَيْكُمْ بِالصِّدْقِ وَالْبِرِّ فَإِنَّهُمَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالْكَذِبَ وَالْفُجُورَ فَإِنَّهُمَا فِي النَّارِ‏.‏
