[Machine] "On the authority of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , that he said, 'I say nothing but the truth.' Some of his companions said, 'You jest, O Messenger of Allah.' He replied, 'I say nothing but the truth.' Some of his companions said, 'You jest, O Messenger of Allah.' He replied, 'I say nothing but the truth.' And Urwah narrated from the Prophet, ﷺ , as Mursal (without the chain of transmission), that there was a joke in it. Abu Abdur-Rahman Al-Sulami informed us that Abu Al-Hassan Al-Karizi told us that Ali ibn Abd al-Aziz reported from Abu Ubaid that he said: Ibn Ulayyah informed me from Khalid Al-Hadh'a that Urwah narrated from him, and he raised it (the narration). Abu Ubaid said: His saying 'Al-Du'abah' (the joke) means Al-Muzah (the jester)."
