The Hadith: "May Allah curse the liar, even if he is joking" has no origin from the Prophet, peace be upon him, and is not known from the Sunnah. However, dispraise for lying and warning against it have been reported, as well as encouragement to abandon it even when joking. In the Hadith: "I guarantee a house in the middle of Paradise for whoever abandons lying, even if he is joking."
