Allah Aliyetukuka anasema, {Basi na tuombe kwa unyenyekevu, na tumwombe laana ya Allah iwashukie wale wanaosema uongo!} (Al-'Imran: 61)

Allah Most High states, {Then let us earnestly pray and invoke the curse of Allah on those who lie!} (Al-'Imran: 61)

{Hakika Allah humwongoza asiyekuwa mkiukaji na mwongo!} (Ghafir: 28)

{Allah guides not one who transgresses and lies!} (Ghafir: 28)

{Wameangamizwa wanaokisia kwa uongo (wasemao uwongo).} (Al-Dhariyat: 10)

{Cursed be the conjecturers (the liars).} (Al-Dhariyat: 10)

Kwa mamlaka ya Ibn Mas'ud (Allah amridhie), "Mtume wa Allah ﷺ

On the authority of Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), "the Messenger of Allah (pbuh)

Alisema ﷺ: "Shikamana kikamilifu na ukweli, kwani ukweli hakika huongoza kwenye wema, na wema huongoza Peponi, na mtu huandikwa kwa Allah kuwa mkweli mradi tu ni mkweli.

said, "Adhere firmly to truthfulness for truthfulness surely leads to righteousness and righteousness leads to Paradise, and a man is recorded with Allah as a sincere one as long as he is truthful.

Hata hivyo, uongo huongoza kwenye uovu, na uovu huongoza kwenye Moto wa Jahannamu, na mtu huandikwa mbele ya Allah kuwa ni mwongo mradi tu anaendelea kusema uongo.”1

However, lying leads to immorality and immorality leads to the Hell-Fire, and a man is recorded with Allah as a liar as long as he lies.”1

Pia alisema, ﷺ: "Alama za mnafiki ni tatu, hata akiswali, akafunga, na akajifanya Muislamu: anapozungumza husema uongo; anapoahidi huvunja ahadi; na anapoaminiwa amana huisaliti."2

He (pbuh) also said, "Three are the signs of the hypocrite, even if he prays, fasts, and pretends to be a Muslim: When he talks, he lies; when he makes a promise he breaks it; and when he is given a trust, he betrays it” 2

Katika riwaya nyingine imepokewa kutoka kwa 'Abdullah bin 'Umar kwamba Mtume ﷺ alisema: "Tabia nne, zikipatikana pamoja kwa mtu, humfanya kuwa mnafiki. Yeyote aliye na moja kati ya hizi, anayo sifa moja ya kinafiki mpaka aiache: anaposema, husema uongo; anapofanya mkataba, huuvunja; anapoahidi, huvunja ahadi yake; na anapokuwa katika mzozo, huwatukana wapinzani wake." 3

In another narration it is reported on the authority of ' Abdullah Ibn 'Vmar that the Prophet (pbuh) said, "Four traits if found together in a person make him a hypocrite. Whoever has one of these, possesses one of the hypocritical characteristics until he renounces it: When he speaks, he lies; when he draws a contract, he breaches it, When he makes a promise, he breaks it; and he abuses his opponents in time of dispute.” 3

Al-Bukhari ameripoti katika Sahih yake hadith ifuatayo kwa mapokezi ya Samarah Ibn Jundub (Allah amridhie):

AI-Bukhari reported in his Sahih the following hadith on the authority of Samarah Ibn Jundub (may Allah be pleased with him):

Mjumbe wa Allah ﷺ alikuwa akiuliza, "Je, kuna yeyote kati yenu aliyeona ndoto?" Basi wale ambao Allah alitaka kuwaambia wangemsimulia ndoto zao. Siku moja asubuhi Nabii ﷺ alisema, "Usiku wa jana watu wawili walinijia kwa ndoto, wakaniamsha wakaniambia, 'Endelea!' Nikaondoka pamoja nao... Tukafika kwa mtu aliyelala chali, na mtu mwingine amesimama juu ya kichwa chake akiwa na ndoana ya chuma. Na tazama, alikuwa akiweka ile ndoana upande mmoja wa mdomo wa mtu huyo na kuurarua upande huo wa uso wake hadi shingoni, na vivyo hivyo alikuwa akirarua pua yake kutoka mbele hadi nyuma, na macho yake kutoka mbele hadi nyuma. Kisha akageukia upande wa pili wa uso wa mtu huyo na kufanya kama alivyofanya upande wa kwanza. Alikuwa amemaliza upande huo kwa shida, upande mwingine ukarudi katika hali yake ya kawaida. Kisha akarudi kurudia alichokuwa amefanya awali. Nikawaambia wenzangu wawili, 'Utukufu ni wa Allah! Hawa wawili ni akina nani?'... Wakasema, 'Mtu huyu ni mfano wa mtu anayetoka nyumbani kwake asubuhi na kusema uongo mwingi hadi unaenea duniani kote.'" Mjumbe wa Allah ﷺ pia alisema, "Muumini anaweza kuwa na udhaifu wa aina yoyote kwa asili, isipokuwa hiyana na uongo." 1

"The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) used to ask, "Did anyone of you see a dream?" So those whom Allah wished to tell would narrate dreams to him. One morning the Prophet (pbuh) said, "Last night two persons came to me in a dream and woke me up and said to me, 'Proceed!' I set out with them... And we came to a man laying flat on his back and another man standing over his head with an iron hook, and behold, he would put the hook in one side of man's mouth and tear off that side of his face to the back of the neck and similarly tear his nose from front to back and his eyes from front to back. Then he turned to the other side of the man's face and did just as he had done with the other side. He hardly completed this side when the other side returned to its normal state. Then he returned to repeat what he had done before. I said to my two companions, 'Glory be to Allah! Who are these two persons?'... They said, 'This man is the symbol of the person who goes out of his house in the morning and tells so many lies that it spreads all over the world. '" Allah's Messenger (pbuh) also said, "The believer may be naturally disposed to any shortcoming except treachery and lying.” 1

Hadithi nyingine inasema, "Jihadharini na dhana mbaya, kwani dhana mbaya ndiyo kauli yenye uongo zaidi."2

Other hadith states, "Beware of suspicion for suspicion is the most untruthful of speech.”2

"Kuna aina tatu za watu ambao Allah hatawasemesha siku ya Kiyama, wala hatawatazama, wala hatawatakasa (kutoka dhambini), na watakuwa na adhabu chungu: Mzinzi mzee, mtawala mwongo, na maskini mwenye kiburi."3

"There are Three types of people with whom Allah would neither speak to on the Day of Judgment, nor would He look towards them, nor would He purify them (from sins) and there would be a tormenting chastisement for them: The aged adulterer, the lying ruler and the destitute who is full of pride.”3

"Ole kwake yule anayesema uongo ili awafanye watu wacheke. Ole kwake, ole kwake."4

"Woe to the one who tells lies to make people laugh. Woe to him, woe to him.”4

Viapo vya uongo ni vibaya zaidi kuliko uongo wa kawaida. Allah anasema kuhusu tabia ya wanafiki:

False oaths are more heinous than the normal lying. Allah says about the character of the hypocrites:

{Nao wanaapa uongo kwa kujua.} (Al-Mujadilah: 14)

{And they swear to falsehood knowingly.} (AI-Mujadilah: 14)

Zaidi ya hayo, Mtume wa Allah ﷺ alisema: "Kuna watu watatu ambao Allah hatawasemesha, wala hatawatazama, wala hatawatakasa siku ya Kiyama, nao watapata adhabu iliyo chungu: mtu anayezuia maji ya ziada aliyo nayo kwa msafiri jangwani, mtu anayeuza bidhaa baada ya Asr (alasiri) akiapa kwa jina la Allah kwamba aliilipia zaidi ya alivyoilipia kweli, na mtu anayemwapia mtawala kiapo cha utii kwa ajili ya dunia tu. Ikiwa atampa kitu katika maisha haya ya dunia, atamtii; na asipompa, hatamtii."

Furthermore, the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, "There are three people whom Allah will not speak to, look at, or exonerate on the Day of Judgment, and who will have a painful torment: he who withholds what he has of excessive water from a traveler in the desert, he who sells merchandise after Asr (Late Afternoon) swearing by Allah that he paid more for it than he actually did, and a man gives the pledge to a governor only for the sake of this world,' he will only be loyal if he gets something of this worldly life.” 5

Mtume wa Allah ﷺ alisema, "Ni khiyana kubwa kumwambia ndugu yako uongo wakati anaamini unachokisema."

The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, "!t is a grievous treachery to tell your brother lies when he believes what you say.” 6

Hadithi inasema, "Yeyote atakayedai kwamba ameona ndoto wakati ana uongo, siku ya Kiyama ataamrishwa kufunga nywele mbili ambazo ni jambo lisilowezekana."7

A Hadith states, "Whoever claimed to have seen a vision while he is lying, on the Day of Judgment he will be commanded to tide two hairs which is impossible.”7

Mtume wa Allah ﷺ alisema, "Dhambi mbaya zaidi mbele ya Allah ni ushahidi wa uongo."1

The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, "The worst sin in the sight of Allah is the false witness.”1

Ibn Mas'ud (radhi Allahu anhu) alisema, "Mja wa kwanza kusisitiza kusema uongo hadi nukta nyeusi itiwe juu ya moyo wake, na hivyo moyo wake wote utiwe rangi nyeusi. Kwa Allah, mtu kama huyo ataandikwa kuwa mwongo."2

Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "A servant insists on lying until a black dot be stamped over his heart and so his heart would be stamped as a whole with black color. With Allah such servant would be recorded as a liar.”2

Kwa hiyo, Mwislamu anapaswa kutamka maneno mema tu ili aepuke makosa. Al-Bukhari aliripoti kwa mamlaka ya Abu Huraira (Allah amridhie) kwamba Mtume wa Allah ﷺ alisema: "Yeyote anayemwamini Allah na Siku ya Mwisho, na aseme neno jema au anyamaze kimya." Hadithi hii iliyokubaliwa kwa pamoja inaonyesha wazi kwamba mtu hapaswi kusema isipokuwa yale anayoona kuwa mema.

The Muslim, therefore, is required to utter only the good words to be safe from error. Al-Bukhari reported on the authority of Abu Huriarah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, "Whoever believes in Allah and in the Last Day should utter only good word or he should keep silent." This agreed upon hadith indicates clearly that a person should not speak except with what seems to him as good.

Abu Musa (radhi Allahu anhu) alisema kwamba, "Nilimuuliza Mjumbe wa Allah ﷺ, 'Ewe Mjumbe wa Allah! Ni nani miongoni mwa Waislamu aliye mwenye kutoa sadaka zaidi?' Yeye ﷺ akajibu, 'Ni yule ambaye kwa ulimi wake na mikono yake Waislamu wako salama.'"3

Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) said that, "I asked the Messenger of Allah, '0 Messenger of Allah! Who amongst Muslims is the most charitable?' He (pbuh) responded, "The one who from his tongue and hands Muslims are safe.”3

Imepokelewa katika Sahihi mbili kwamba: "Mja anaweza kutamka neno bila kujali matokeo yake, kwa neno hilo akatupwa Motoni umbali mrefu zaidi ya umbali kati ya mashariki na magharibi." Bilal bin Al-Harith Al-Muzani amesema kwamba Mtume ﷺ alisema: "Mtu anaweza kutamka neno kwa kuridhia kwa Allah, bila kujua matunda yake, ambalo kwalo Allah humwandikia radhi mtu huyo mpaka amkutane Naye. Na mtu anaweza kutamka neno kwa ghadhabu ya Allah, bila kujua matokeo yake, ambalo kwalo Allah humwandikia chuki mpaka amkutane Naye." Mara moja mtu mwema aliulizwa kuhusu idadi ya kasoro za binadamu. Akajibu: "Kasoro za binadamu hazihesabiki, lakini mimi najua kasoro 8000. Hata hivyo, binadamu anaweza kuficha kasoro hizi nyingi kwa kunyamaza kimya, isipokuwa kwa kusema maneno mema."

It is reported in the two Sahihs that, "A servant may utter a word while he is unaware of its consequences, by it he would be thrown in Hell for a distance more far than the distance between the east and west.” Bilal Ibn Al-Harith Al-Muzani said the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) declared, "A man may speak a word out of Allah's Pleasure while he is unaware of its fruits, by which Allah decree pleasure for that man until he meets Him. On the other hand, a man may speak a word out of Allah's wrath while he is unaware of its consequences, by which Allah decree for him displeasure until he meets Him. " Once a righteous man was questioned about the number of Man's faults. Thereupon, he answered, "Man's faults are innumerable but I know 8000 faults. However, man can conceal these numerous faults through keeping silent with the exception of good speak.
