Answer :

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
Almighty Allah refers to the Siddiqeen in the following verse,
وَمَنْ يُطِعِ اللَّهَ وَالرَّسُولَ فَأُولَئِكَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَالصِّدِّيقِينَ وَالشُّهَدَاءِ وَالصَّالِحِينَ  وَحَسُنَ أُولَئِكَ رَفِيقًا ( سورة النساء، ٦٩)
“Whoever obeys Allah and his messenger, they will be with those whom Allah bestowed his bounties, Ambiya, Siddiqeen, Shuhadah, and the Saliheen. These are indeed the best of companions.” (Suratul-Nisaa, verse; 69)
The prescription to be among the Siddiqeen according to the above verse is to obey Allah And His Rasul.
Another prescription to be Siddiq is be truthful as stated in the following Hadith,
"لا يزال الرجل يصدق حتى يكتب عند الله صديقا، ولا يزال الرجل يكذب حتى يكتب عند الله كذابا"
(أخرجه مسلم في ، كتاب البر والصلة ، باب تحريم النمطية، ج ٤، ص ٢٠١٢، رقم ١٠)
“A man who continues to be truthful, Allah Taala will register him as a Siddiq. And a man who continues to lie, Allah Taala will register him as a liar.” ^[i]
And Allah Ta‘āla Knows Best
