Sunan Ibn Majah
Sunan Ibn Majah 51
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، وَهَارُونُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي فُدَيْكٍ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ وَرْدَانَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " مَنْ تَرَكَ الْكَذِبَ وَهُوَ بَاطِلٌ بُنِيَ لَهُ قَصْرٌ فِي رَبَضِ الْجَنَّةِ وَمَنْ تَرَكَ الْمِرَاءَ وَهُوَ مُحِقٌّ بُنِيَ لَهُ فِي وَسَطِهَا وَمَنْ حَسَّنَ خُلُقَهُ بُنِيَ لَهُ فِي أَعْلاَهَا " .
Abd al-Rahman ibn Ibrahim al-Dimashqi and Harun ibn Ishaq both narrated to us: Ibn Abi Fudayk narrated to us, from Salamah ibn Wardan, from Anas ibn Malik, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever abandons lying while it is false will have a palace built for him in the outskirts of Paradise. Whoever abandons disputation while he is in the right will have one built for him in its middle. Whoever makes his character good will have one built for him in its highest reaches.
Translation notes
The Arabic gives three escalating rewards: in the outskirts, middle, and highest reaches of Paradise. It distinguishes abandoning lies while in falsehood from leaving argument even when one is right, then good character. The palace is explicit in the first clause and carried elliptically in the next two.
