happened to pass by a heap of grain and insertedhis hand into it; his
fingers were moistened by the wet grain. At this, he asked the owner
of thegrain: What is this? The man replied: O Rasulullah!It is due to
rain. Rasulullah (peace be uponhim) said: Why didn't you put the damp
(wet) grain on top of the heap, so people could see it? He who
deceives people doesnot belong to me (my Ummah).
Source: Sahih Muslim.
We should always remember that deception is one of the qualities of
Shaitan. Others may not see us when we are deceiving them but Allah is
there watching us. A true believer knowing that he has to stand in
front of Allah will avoid such activities.
