Muwatta Malik #1955
كتاب الكلام
وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ، كَانَ يَقُولُ لاَ يَزَالُ الْعَبْدُ يَكْذِبُ وَتُنْكَتُ فِي قَلْبِهِ نُكْتَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ حَتَّى يَسْوَدَّ قَلْبُهُ كُلُّهُ فَيُكْتَبَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مِنَ الْكَاذِبِينَ .
Malik related to me that he heard that Abdullah ibn Masud used to
say, "The slave continues to lie and a black spot grows in his heart
until all his heart becomes black. Then he is written, in Allah's
sight, among the liars."
