The Prophet (peace be upon him) was the most just, the most decent, the most truthful at speech, and the most honest of all. Those who have exchanged words with him, and even his enemies, acknowledge his noble qualities. Even before the Prophethood he was nicknamed Al-Ameen (i.e., the truthful, the trustworthy). Even then – in Al-Jahiliyah – they used to turn to him for judgment and group discussions.
Speaking Lies
Speaking Lies
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
The signs of the hypocrite are three: when he speaks, he lies, when he makes a promise he breaks it, and when he is entrusted with something he breaks that trust.” [al-Bukhaari & Muslim]
Lying is haraam in all cases, expect those which are exempted by the Lawgiver.
Lying is not right except in 3 cases:
1- When a person steps-in in order to bring about agreement between two persons or families that are having problems with each other.
2- When a man speaks to his wife, or a wife to her husband, concerning matters that will increase the love between them.
3- War.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
“He is not a liar who brings about reconciliation among people, conveys good words and says good things.” “Lies are not appropriate except in three cases: when a man speaks to his wife to please her, telling lies at times of war, and lying in order to bring about reconciliation between people.”
[al-Bukhaari & Muslim]

Allah says: “O you who believe! Fear Allah, and be with those who are true (in words and deeds)” [al-Tawbah 9:119]
The Prophet peace be upon him said,
“Whoever does not give up lying speech (false statements) and acting on those lies and evil actions, etc, Allah is not in need of his leaving his food and drink [ie. Allah will not accept his Saum (fasting)].
[Bukhaari]
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:
“I urge you to be truthful, for truthfulness leads to righteousness, and righteousness leads to Paradise. A man will continue to be truthful and seek to speak the truth until he is recorded with Allah as speaker of truth (siddeeq). And beware of lying, for lying leads to evildoing and evildoing leads to Hell; a man will continue to tell lies until he is recorded with Allaah as a liar.” [al-Bukhaari]
Jokes should also be Truthful
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
“Woe to the one who tells lies to make people laugh, woe to him.”
(Narrated by Abu Dawood)
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, warning against this kind of behaviour which some jokers are accustomed to:
“A man may say something to make his companions laugh, and he will fall into Hell as far as the Pleiades's because of it.”
(Narrated by Ahmad)
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
“I guarantee a house in Jannah (Paradise) for one who gives up arguing, even if he is in the right; and I guarantee a house in the middle of Jannah for one who abandons lying even when joking/for the sake of fun; and I guarantee a house in the highest part of Jannah for one who has good manners."
[Reported by Abu Dawud]
Therefore, a Muslim who has true Islamic sensitivities avoids lying no matter what benefits or profits such activities might bring him, because Islam considers those guilty of such deeds to be hypocrites.
