Corrupt

CORRUPT:

3:118 - O ye who believe! take not into your intimacy those outside your ranks; they will not fail to corrupt you. They only desire your ruin: rank hatred has already appeared from their mouths; what their hearts conceal is far worse. We have made plain to you the Signs if ye have wisdom.

Sunan of Abu-Dawood
Hadith 4870 Narrated by
Mu'awiyah

heard the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) say: If you search for the faults of the people, you will corrupt them, or will nearly corrupt them. AbudDarda' said: These are the words which Mu'awiyah himself from the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him), and Allah benefited him by them.

Qurrah ibn Iyas al-Muzani

Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said, "When the Syrians become corrupt there will be good in you, but a section of my people will continue to be helped, not being injured by those who desert them, till the last hour comes."

Al-Tirmidhi Hadith
Hadith 5115 Narrated by
Asma', daughter of `Umays

Asma heard Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) say, "He is a bad servant who is proud and puts on airs and forgets the Most Great and Sublime One. He is a bad servant who is overbearing and overweening and forgets the Overpowering and Most High One. He is a bad servant who is neglectful and careless and forgets the graves and corruption. He is a bad servant who is corrupt and excessively disobedient and forgets the beginning and the end. He is a bad servant who deceptively uses religion. He is a bad servant who is let by greed. He is a bad servant who is misled by passion. He is a bad servant who is debased by worldly desire."

Tirmidhi and Bayhaqi, in Shu'ab al-Iman transmitted it, Tirmidhi saying its isnad is not strong and also that this is a gharib tradition.

Hadith 56.16

Truthfulness and Lying

Malik related to me that he heard that Abdullah ibn Masud used to say, "You must tell the truth. Truthfulness leads to right action. Right action leads to the Garden. Beware of lying. Lying leads to corruption, and corruption leads to the Fire. Don't you see that it is said, 'He speaks the truth and acts rightly,' and, 'He lies and is corrupt.' "
