Sahih Muslim 11b (Book 1, Hadith 9) #7274
The Power of Truthfulness

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the importance of being true to one's word and how it can lead to success and entrance into heaven.

Another hadith, the like of which has been narrated by Malik (b. Anas) (and mentioned above) is also reported by Talha b. 'Ubaidullah, with the only variation that the Prophet remarked: By his father, he shall succeed if he were true (to what he professed), or: By his father, he would enter heaven if he were true (to what he professed).
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، وَقُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، جَمِيعًا عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ مَالِكٍ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ أَفْلَحَ وَأَبِيهِ إِنْ صَدَقَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ أَوْ ‏"‏ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ وَأَبِيهِ إِنْ صَدَقَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the power of truthfulness in achieving success and entering heaven. It was narrated by Malik b. Anas and Talha b. 'Ubaidullah, who both reported that the Prophet said that if someone is true to what they profess, they will succeed or enter heaven depending on their faithfulness to their words. This hadith emphasizes the importance of being honest with oneself and others in order for one's actions to be rewarded with success or entrance into paradise after death. It also serves as a reminder that lying has consequences which can prevent one from achieving their goals or entering paradise after death, so it is important for people to be truthful in all aspects of life in order for them to reap its rewards both now and later on in life when judgement day comes around.
