Warning against attributing false statements to the Prophet ﷺ

[AI] Abu Musa said, "This companion of yours is surely accurate, or else doomed. The last thing the Messenger of Allah ﷺ entrusted to us was that he said: "Hold fast to the Book of Allah. You will return to a people who love speaking about me, so whoever attributes to me what I did not say, let him take his seat in the Fire. And whoever preserves something from me, let him narrate it.""

فَقَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى: إِنَّ صَاحِبَكُمْ هَذَا لَحَافِظٌ أَوْ هَالِكٌ، إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ آخِرُ مَا عَهِدَ إِلَيْنَا أَنْ قَالَ: «عَلَيْكُمْ بِكِتَابِ اللهِ، وَسَتَرْجِعُونَ إِلَى قَوْمٍ يُحِبُّونَ الْحَدِيثَ عَنِّي، فَمَنْ قَالَ عَلَيَّ مَا لَمْ أَقُلْ فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ، وَمَنْحِفْظَ عَنِّي شَيْئًا فَلْيُحَدِّثْهُ».
