Translation: 829. Narrated by Abdullah: The Prophet said: " Truthfulness leads to Birr (righteousness), and Birr leads to Paradise. And a man keeps on telling the truth until he becomes a Siddeeq (a truthful person). Falsehood leads to Fojoor (wickedness), and Fojoor leads to the Hellfire. A man may keep on telling lies until he is written before Allah as a liar. ” (Bukhari)
Translation: 830. Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr: " The Prophet said: " Whoever has the (following) four (characteristics) will be a pure hypocrite and whoever has one of them will be having one characteristic of hypocrisy, unless or until he abandons it. Whenever he is entrusted, he betrays (he proves dishonest). Whenever he speaks, he lies. Whenever he makes a covenant, he proves treacherous. And whenever he quarrels, he behaves in a very imprudent, evil, and insulting manner. (Bukhari)
Translation: 6 Al-Birr, translated here as righteousness is a comprehensive word. It comprises all good deeds and utterances.
Translation: 831. Narrated Ibn Abbas: ' The Prophet said: " Whoever claims to have seen a dream that he did not see, will be ordered to make a knot between two barley grains and he will not be able to do this. Whoever listens to the conversation of some people who do not like him (to listen to it) then molten lead will be poured into his ears on the Day of Resurrection. And whoever makes a picture, will be punished on the Day of Resurrection. He will be ordered to put a soul in that picture, and he will not be able to do it. " " " (Bukhari)
Translation: 832. Narrated Ibn Omar, may Allah be pleased with them: ' Allah's Messenger said: " The worst lie is that a person claims to have seen a dream which he has not seen. 333 " (Bukhari)
Translation: 833. Narrated Samora ibn Jondob " Whenever the Prophet finished the (Morning) prayer, he would face us and ask: " Who amongst you had a dream last night? " So if anyone had had a dream he would narrate it. The Prophet would say: " Ma Sha'a Allah (an Arabic maxim meaning literally, " What Allah wills comes to pass, ' and it indicates a good omen.) " One day, he asked us whether anyone of us had seen a dream. We replied in the negative. The Prophet said
Translation: " But I had seen (a dream) last night that two men came to me, caught hold of my hands, and took me to the Sacred Land. There, I saw one person sitting and another standing with an iron hook in his hand pushing it inside the mouth of the former until it reached the jawbone, and then he tore off one of his cheeks, and then did the same with the other side. In the meantime the first cheek became normal again and he repeated the same operation again. I said: " What is this? " They told me to proceed on and we went on until we came to a man lying in the prone position, and another man standing at his head holding a stone or a piece of rock. That man was crushing the head of the man who was lying down with that stone. Whenever he struck him, the stone rolled away. The man went to pick it up and by the time he returned, the crushed head had returned to its normal state and the man came back and struck him again (and so on). I said: " What is this? " They told me to proceed on. So, we proceeded on and passed by a hole, like an oven with a narrow top and wide bottom, and a fire was blazing underneath that hole. Whenever the flames went higher, the people were lifted up to such an extent that they were about to get out, and whenever the fire receded, the people went down into it, and there were naked men and women in it. I said: " What is this? " They told me to proceed on. So, we proceeded on until we reached a river of blood and there was a man in it, and another man (was standing at the bank) with stones in front of him, the latter confronted the former who was in the river. Whenever the man in the river wanted to come out, the other man threw a stone in his mouth and made him retreat to his original position; and whenever he wanted to come out the other one threw a stone in his mouth, and he would retreat to his original position. I asked: " What is this? " They told me to proceed on and we did so until we reached a flourishing green garden with a huge tree and near its base, an old man was sitting with some children. (I saw) another man near the tree with a fire in front of him and he was kindling it. Then they (my two companions) made me climb up the tree and made me enter a house, better than which I had never seen. There were some old and young men, and women and children in it. Then they took me out of this house and made me climb up the tree and made me enter another house that was better and superior (to the first one) containing old and young people. I said to them (my two companions): " You have made me wander all night, tell me all about the things I have seen. " They said: " Alright. As for the one whose cheeks you saw being torn away, he was a liar and he used to tell lies, and the people would report those lies on his authority until they spread all over the world. So, he will be punished like that
( شرح رياض الصالحين
Translation: until the Day of Resurrection. The one whose head you saw being crushed is one whom Allah had given knowledge of the Koran (i.e. knowing it by heart), but he used to sleep at night (he did not recite it then) and did not act upon it by day; and so this punishment will go on until the Day of Resurrection. And those whom you saw in the hole (like an oven) were adulterers (those men and women who committed illegal sexual intercourse). And those whom you saw in the river of blood were those dealt in Riba (usury). And the old man who was sitting at the base of the tree was Abraham and the little children around him were the offspring of people. And the one who was kindling the fire was Malek, the gatekeeper of Hellfire. And the first house in which you entered was the house of the common believers, and the second house was that of the martyrs. I am Gabriel and this is Michael. " Then the Angel said: " Raise your head. " I raised my head and saw a thing like a cloud over me. They said: " That is your home. " I said: " Let me enter my home. " They said: " You still have some life that you have not yet completed, and when you complete (that remaining portion of your life) you will then enter your home. " (Bukhari)
