Sahih al-Bukhari 6096 (Book 78, Hadith 123) #5852
The Consequences of Lying

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the consequences of lying and how it can spread all over the world.

Narrated Samura bin Jundub: The Prophet said, "I saw (in a dream), two men came to me". Then the Prophet narrated the story (saying), "They said, 'The person, the one whose cheek you saw being torn away (from the mouth to the ear) was a liar and used to tell lies and the people would report those lies on his authority till they spread all over the world. So he will be punished like that till the Day of Resurrection"'.
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو رَجَاءٍ، عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏ "‏ رَأَيْتُ رَجُلَيْنِ أَتَيَانِي قَالاَ الَّذِي رَأَيْتَهُ يُشَقُّ شِدْقُهُ فَكَذَّابٌ يَكْذِبُ بِالْكَذْبَةِ تُحْمَلُ عَنْهُ حَتَّى تَبْلُغَ الآفَاقَ فَيُصْنَعُ بِهِ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith talks about the consequences of lying. It was narrated by Samura bin Jundub, who said that Prophet Muhammad saw two men in a dream. They told him that the person whose cheek was torn away from his mouth to his ear was a liar and used to tell lies, which were then reported on his authority until they spread all over the world. As a result, he will be punished like this until the Day of Resurrection.
