The truthful (sadiq) is one who speaks and acts truthfully, and this is the opposite of lying. A Muslim must be truthful in his words and deeds with his Lord, himself, and others. It has been narrated in the that truthfulness leads to righteousness and Paradise. As for the most truthful (siddiq), this is a more emphatic term than sadiq. A siddiq is one who is truthful in his words and deeds, and who confirms the truth with his words and actions. This represents the perfection of faith in what the Messenger brought, encompassing knowledge, affirmation, and adherence.
