Abu Bakra asserted that he too heard it from the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him ). (Using translation from Muslim 63a)
لَمَّا ادَّعَى مُعَاوِيَةُ زِيَادًا لَقِيتُ أَبَا بَكْرَةَ فَقُلْتُ مَا هَذَا الَّذِي صَنَعْتُمْ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ سَعْدًا يَقُولُ سَمِعَتْهُ أُذُنَايَ وَوَعَاهُ قَلْبِي مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنِ ادَّعَى أَبًا فِي الْإِسْلَامِ وَهُوَ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ غَيْرُ أَبِيهِ فَالْجَنَّةُ عَلَيْهِ حَرَامٌ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرَةَ وَأَنَا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْهُ
