Hadith on Truth: Allah opposes liars, backbiters, slanderers

Ibn Umar reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Whoever intercedes to obstruct a prescribed punishment from Allah, he has opposed Allah. Whoever argues in falsehood, and he knows it, Allah will be angry with him until he retracts it. Whoever claims what is not true about a believer, Allah will lodge him in a putrid sinkhole of Hell until he recants his claim.”

عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ حَالَتْ شَفَاعَتُهُ دُونَ حَدٍّ مِنْ حُدُودِ اللَّهِ فَقَدْ ضَادَّ اللَّهَ وَمَنْ خَاصَمَ فِي بَاطِلٍ وَهُوَ يَعْلَمُهُ لَمْ يَزَلْ فِي سَخَطِ اللَّهِ حَتَّى يَنْزِعَ عَنْهُ وَمَنْ قَالَ فِي مُؤْمِنٍ مَا لَيْسَ فِيهِ أَسْكَنَهُ اللَّهُ رَدْغَةَ الْخَبَالِ حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ مِمَّا قَالَ
