It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A person continues to speak the truth and strives to be truthful until he is recorded with Allah as a 'Siddiq' (truthful one), and a person continues to lie and seeks ways to lie until he is recorded with Allah as a 'Kadhdhab' (liar)."
