[Machine] Narrated from the Prophet ﷺ that he said: "The most dishonest of people are the dyers and goldsmiths." This hadith is narrated by Hammam from Farqad, who made a mistake in it, from some of them from Hammam. He said about him from Qatadah from Yazid, and some of them said about him from Qatadah from Anas, and both of them are false. It was narrated from another source from Abu Hurairah, and it was said from Abu Sa’eed in a marfoo’ report (i.e. attributed to the Prophet ﷺ ). And it was narrated from Abu Sa’d al-Malini from Abu Ahmad ibn ‘Adi from Ibrahim ibn ‘Abdullah ibn Ayyub al-Mukharrami from Yahya ibn Musa al-Balkhi, who said: I asked Abu ‘Ubaid al-Qaasim ibn Salaam about the interpretation of this. He said: As for the dyer, he is the one who adds words to the hadith to make it more beautiful, and as for the goldsmith, he is the one who fashions the hadith without any basis. Shaykh Ibn Sa'd (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned that he said in what is narrated from him: It is possible that al-Muraad is the worker with his hands, and he is explicit in what is narrated from him concerning Abu Sa’eed. However, he was attributed to lying and Allah knows best because of his frequent and false claims, even though he knew that he could not fulfill them. With regard to the authenticity of the hadith, the author mentioned the testimony of the one who takes an oath of allegiance for goodness, and the evidence for this has already been mentioned in the book of rental and the book of dividing spoils and other books. He also mentioned the testimony of the one who is questioned, and the evidence for this has already been mentioned in the book of dividing sadaqaat. He mentioned the testimony of the one who answers the call without an invitation, and the report has already been mentioned in the book of marriage, so repeating it has no meaning. Anyone who has anything can have his testimony rejected. Shaykh said: His testimony is rejected as long as he is engaged in that. But if he refrains from it and repents, his testimony is accepted. And the Shaykh mentioned that reports on this topic have already been mentioned in the chapter on testimony against one who slanders.
