I asked al-Zubair : What prevents you from narrating traditions from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as his Companions narrate from him? He said: By Allah I was very close to him. But I heard him ﷺ say: He who lies about me deliberately will certainly come to his abode in Hell.  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَمَا يُحَدِّثُ عَنْهُ أَصْحَابُهُ فَقَالَ أَمَا وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ كَانَ لِي مِنْهُ وَجْهٌ وَمَنْزِلَةٌ وَلَكِنِّي سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ مَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَىَّ مُتَعَمِّدًا فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ
