Speak truthfully and avoid lying or making false promises.

This hadith is about the consequences of swearing a false oath near the Prophet's Mimbar. It was narrated by Yahya who heard it from Malik who heard it from Hisham and so on until it reached Jabir Ibn Abdullah Al-Ansari who said that the Messenger of Allah said that if someone swears a false oath near his Mimbar then they will take their seat in fire in the afterlife. This hadith teaches us that we should be careful with our words and not swear falsely as this can have serious consequences for us in both this life and hereafter. We should always strive to speak truthfully and avoid lying or making false promises as this can lead to punishment both here on earth and after death.
