Weekly Hadith
Falsehood is Falsehood Small or BigAsma bint Yazeed (radi Allahu anha) narrated that she once asked the
Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam): “If one of us women stated
that she had no desire to have a certain thing even though she had that desire,
then would it be considered a lie?” He (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) replied:
“Falsehood is written as falsehood, and a small falsehood is written as a small
falsehood.” [Muslim]
There are many lies we tell in the course of a day
that unfortunately we don’t pay any attention to. They have become standard
forms of speech for us even though they are lies. Allah’s beloved Messenger (sal
Allahu alaihi wa sallam) warned that no matter how small the lie may appear to
us, it will be noted in our record of deeds as a lie, perhaps not a big lie, but
a lie nevertheless.
When we try to remove even the smallest trace of
falsehood from our speech will we be abstaining from big lies that we considered
insignificant.
