Can this Hadith be quoted?
Sayyidah ‘Aaishah (radiyallahu ‘anha) says:
“No characteristic was more hateful to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) than lying. If a man told a lie in the presence of the Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam), he would continue to feel some unrest in his heart until he knew that the man had repented.”
