Be true to a covenant, for a covenant holds a man responsible. Be faithful to your pledged covenants and keep your oaths.\nTraditions. A man who keeps not his word has no religion.\nA true man's word is like an oath.\nBe truthful in what you say, faithful to your promise, and careful of what is entrusted to you.\nA pledged word is as if you had made the gift.\nProverbs. A true man keeps his promise.\nA pledged word has the same value as a debt.\nThe promise of a true man is a greater obligation than a debt.\nThat man is a hypocrite who prays and fasts, but is untruthful in what he says, false to his word, and unfaithful in discharging a trust.","title":"Arabian Wisdom: Truthfulness to Promises","type":"page"}
