Dought & clear, - Ruling on the riddle: "Who are those who speak the truthbut their destination is Hell?"

Who are those who speak the truth but their destination is Hell?.
Praise be to Allaah.
It should be noted that truthfulness is a means of salvation in this
world and in the Hereafter, and lying is a cause of doom.
Muslim (2607) narrated that Ibn Mas'ood (may Allah be pleased with
him) said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be
upon him) said: "I enjoin you to be truthful, for truthfulness leads
to righteousness and righteousness leads to Paradise. A man may
continue to tell the truth and endeavour to be truthful until he is
recorded with Allaah as a speaker of truth. And beware of lying, for
lying leads to wickedness and wickedness leads to Hell. A man may
continue to tell lies and endeavour to tell lies, until he is recorded
with Allaah as a liar."
Rather people cite the riddle mentioned in the question to refer to
the Jews and Christians. The Jews said that the Christians follow
nothing, and they told the truth but they entered Hell. And the
Christians said that the Jews follow nothing, and they told the truth
but they entered Hell.
They narrate this from the Sufi Abu Yazeed al-Bastaami in the famous
story in which some of the Christians asked him this question and he
gave them this answer, quoting as evidence the verse in which Allah
says (interpretation of the meaning):
"The Jews said that the Christians follow nothing (i.e. are not on the
right religion); and the Christians said that the Jews follow nothing
(i.e. are not on the right religion); though they both recite the
Scripture. Like unto their word, said (the pagans) who know not.
Allaah will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection about that
wherein they have been differing"
[al-Baqarah 2:113].
It may also be said that this applies to the kuffaar of whom Allah
said (interpretation of the meaning):
"And verily, if you ask them: 'Who created the heavens and the earth?
Surely, they will say: 'Allaah (has created them)'"
[al-Zumar 39:38]
and
"Say: 'In Whose Hand is the sovereignty of everything (i.e. treasures
of everything)? And He protects (all), while against Whom there is no
protector (i.e. if Allaah saves anyone, none can punish or harm him;
and if Allaah punishes or harms anyone, none can save him), if you
know?'
89. They will say: '(All that belongs) to Allaah.' Say: 'How then are
you deceived and turn away from the truth?'"
[al-Mu'minoon 23:88, 89].
And there any many similar examples. Some of the kuffaar may speak the
truth in some of the things they say, but they will enter Hell because
of their kufr, not because of their speaking the truth.
Whatever the case, it is not appropriate to say things such as this,
because some people may understand from it that these people will
enter Hell because of the truth they speak, but this is undoubtedly
false. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"Allaah will say: 'This is a Day on which the truthful will profit
from their truth: theirs are Gardens under which rivers flow (in
Paradise) -- they shall abide therein forever. Allaah is pleased with
them and they with Him. That is the great success (Paradise)'"
[al-Maa'idah 5:119].-
