The Prophet (may the mercy and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
"A person lie and lie, until it is recorded with Allah as a habitual liar." (Saheeh Al-Bukhari)
Thus, the habitual liar is despised, truly and thoroughly despised by all - even by their own group - as no one can trust a liar, even other liars. And as clarity in speech is a sign of truthfulness, ambiguity, innuendo, sarcasm and other forms of deception and trickery in the form of speaking is denounced in Islam. Even lying in jest was condemned by the Prophet when he said:
"I guarantee a home in the middle of Paradise for those who forsake the lie even in jest."
(Reported by Abu Umamah in At-Tirmidhi.)
... and his saying:
"Woe to the person who lies to make others laugh! Her Ai, ai it! "
(Reported by Mu'awiyah b. Al-Jaydah Qushayri Abu Dawud.)
