Hadith 11160

Muwatta Malik

موطأ مالك

18
وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ، كَانَ يَقُولُ لاَ يَزَالُ الْعَبْدُ يَكْذِبُ وَتُنْكَتُ فِي قَلْبِهِ نُكْتَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ حَتَّى يَسْوَدَّ قَلْبُهُ كُلُّهُ فَيُكْتَبَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مِنَ الْكَاذِبِينَ .


Malik related to me that he heard that Abdullah ibn Masud used tosay, "The slave continues to lie and a black spot grows in his heartuntil all his heart becomes black. Then he is written, in Allah'ssight, among the liars."
