A youngster said to our master the Prophet, "I cannot quit these three sins." These three sins were lying, committing fornication, and drinking. Our master the Messenger of Allah stated, "Of these three sins, quit lying for me." That youngster accepted it and left. Then when he wanted to commit the other two sins, he thought to himself, "When I come before the Messenger of Allah after committing these sins, if I say that I did not commit them, I will be telling a lie. If I say that I committed them, he will punish me." Thus, he quit the other two sins as well. (Shir'a)
