Bismillah Arrahman Arraheem

Imām `Alī ibn Husayn (a.s.), 

used to say to his son:“Keep away from little and big lies whether you are serious or kidding! Whoever tells lies in childhood, will do so in adulthood."

Do you not know that the Messenger of Allāh (s.w.t) has said:  

‘A servant may keep on speaking truthfully until Allāh (s.w.t) records him as a very truthful one, and a servant may keep on telling lies until Allāh (s.w.t) records him as a very lying one.’
