What It Means: Reading in Context
This opening sentence belongs to a longer narration that contrasts habitual truthfulness with habitual lying and describes where each leads. The card omits that continuation. Read the complete account when discussing the connection between repeated choices, character and their religious consequences. This entry comes from Sahih al-Bukhari 6094. The displayed text is an excerpt, not the complete narration. Follow the source link to read the narrator, full wording and in-book reference together. A hadith number identifies the source used here; numbering systems can differ between editions. Being able to inspect a source is important when a short statement is shared outside its original setting. The accompanying reflection is an editorial prompt for everyday conduct. It is not part of the hadith and does not replace explanation from qualified scholarship. Avoid extending a short reminder into a religious ruling that the entry itself does not establish.
