![Righteousness is a must in transactions: Transactional worship implies being honest. It is treachery to say something to a brother of yours, trying to make him believe it is true while in fact it is a lie. A believer never lies. It was narrated by Abu Umama that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: The believer is naturally exposed to all traits except betrayal and lying.

The believer is honest, straight, and spotless; he doesn't violate other people's integrity, always lowers his gaze; he is compassionate, fair to others, and humble.
