I said to my father, az-Zubair bin al-Awwam ؓ : “Why donʿt you narrate from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.” He said: “I never left him since I became Muslim, but I heard him say something. He said: Whoever tells a lie about me, let him take his place in Hell.ʿ
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ مَا فَارَقْتُهُ مُنْذُ أَسْلَمْتُ وَلَكِنِّي سَمِعْتُ مِنْهُ كَلِمَةً سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ مَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَيَّ فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ
"I said to Zubair bin Awwam: 'Why do I not hear you narrating Ahadith from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as I hear Ibn Mas'ud and so-and-so and so-and-so?' He said: 'I never left him from the time I became Muslim, but I heard him say a word: 'Whoever tells a lie about me deliberately, let him take his place in Hell."
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَمَا أَسْمَعُ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ وَفُلاَنًا وَفُلاَنًا قَالَ أَمَا إِنِّي لَمْ أُفَارِقْهُ مُنْذُ أَسْلَمْتُ وَلَكِنِّي سَمِعْتُ مِنْهُ كَلِمَةً يَقُولُ مَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَىَّ مُتَعَمِّدًا فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ
I said to az-Zubair ؓ : “Why donʿt I hear you narrating from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as I hear Ibn Masʿood and so and so, and so and so?” He said: “I never left him since I became Muslim, but I heard something from him: ʿWhoever tells a lie about me deliberately, let him take his place in Hell.””
قُلْتُ لِلزُّبَيْرِ مَا لِي لَا أَسْمَعُكَ تُحَدِّثُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ كَمَا أَسْمَعُ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ وَفُلانًا وَفُلانًا؟ قَالَ أَمَا إِنِّي لَمْ أُفَارِقْهُ مُنْذُ أَسْلَمْتُ وَلَكِنِّي سَمِعْتُ مِنْهُ كَلِمَةً مَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَيَّ مُتَعَمِّدًا فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ
‘Whoever lies upon me intentionally, then let him take his seat in the Fire’. (Using translation from Muslim 3)
أَنْ أُخْطِئَ لَحَدَّثْتُكُمْ بِأَشْيَاءَ سَمِعْتُهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لَكِنَّهُ قَالَ مَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَيَّ مُتَعَمِّدًا فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ قَالَ هَاشِمٌ قَالَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَوْ سَمِعْتُهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Whoever tells a lie about me deliberately, let him take his place in Hell.” (Using translation from Aḥmad 584)
سَمِعَتْ أُذُنَاي وَوَعَاهُ قَلْبِي مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَيَّ مُتَعَمِّدًا فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ»
I said to my father, az-Zubair bin al-Awwam ؓ : “Why donʿt you narrate from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.” He said: “I never left him since I became Muslim, but I heard him say something. He said: Whoever tells a lie about me, let him take his place in Hell.ʿ (Using translation from Aḥmad 1428)
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ شَيْئًا؟ قَالَ مَا فَارَقْتُهُ مُنْذُ أَسْلَمْتُ وَلَكِنِّي سَمِعْتُهُ قَالَ «مَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَيَّ فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ»
