Is this a narration reported from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him: "Indeed, I have stolen, drunk alcohol, gambled, and lied, and I want to repent from these actions. So the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said to him: 'You must stop lying, and all the abominable deeds you mentioned will spontaneously leave you'" and which mentions that the man consequently abandoned stealing, drinking, and gambling due to his commitment to forsaking falsehood?

This Hadith has no basis in the Prophetic Sunnah. It appeared in some literary works and states that a man asked the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, to abandon one of four sins: adultery, theft, drinking alcohol, or lying. The Prophet chose lying. When the man intended to commit the other sins, he remembered that he would be questioned, so he abandoned them all out of fear of lying.

It is mentioned that some scholars advised repentant individuals to abandon lying, which led them to abandon all other sins.

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah held that truthfulness is the key to all good, and lying is the key to all evil, citing the Prophet's Hadith, peace and blessings be upon him: "Indeed, truthfulness leads to righteousness, and righteousness leads to Paradise."

Ibn al-Qayyim explained that lying corrupts the perception of information, depicting the non-existent as existent and the existent as non-existent. It spreads from the tongue to the limbs, causing corruption to pervade statements, actions, and states. Truthfulness is the foundation of righteous heart-actions, and lying is the origin of every corrupt act.
