Riyad as-Salihin 1579 (Book 17, Hadith 69) #38068
Honesty and Truthfulness in Islam

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) taught that honesty and truthfulness are important values to uphold, and those who deceive or take up arms against Muslims are not part of the Muslim community.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah said, "He who takes up arms against us is none of us; and he who cheats us is none of us". Muslim. Another narration of Muslim is: The Messenger of Allah happened to pass by a heap of corn. He thrust his hand in that (heap) and his fingers felt wetness. He said to the owner of that heap of corn, "What is this?" He replied: "O Messenger of Allah! These have been drenched by rainfall". He remarked, "Why did you not place this (the drenched part of the heap) over the corn so that people might see it? He who deceives is not of us".
وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله قال‏:‏ ‏"‏ من حمل علينا السلاح، فليس منا، ومن غشنا، فليس منا‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه مسلم‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏ وفي رواية له أن رسول الله مر على صبرة طعام، فأدخل يده فيها، فنالت أصابعه بللا، فقال‏:‏ ‏"‏ ما هذا ياصاحب الطعام‏؟‏‏"‏ قال أصابته السماء يارسول الله، قال‏:‏ ‏"‏ أفلا جعلته فوق الطعام حتى يراه الناس‏!‏ من غشنا فليس منا‏"‏‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us the importance of honesty and truthfulness in Islam. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was passing by a heap of corn when he noticed that some parts were wet from rainfall. He asked the owner why he didn't put it on top so people could see it. He then said that anyone who deceives is not part of the Muslim community. This hadith emphasizes how important it is to be honest with others and to always tell the truth no matter what situation you're in. It also teaches us that taking up arms against other Muslims is wrong and will not be tolerated within our community. We should strive to always be truthful with each other so we can build strong relationships based on trust and respect for one another's beliefs.
