Ribʿī b. Ḥirāsh heard Alī giving a khuṭbah and he said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do not lie upon me; indeed whoever lies upon me will enter the Fire."
أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَلِيًّا ؓ يَخْطُبُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لاَ تَكْذِبُوا عَلَىَّ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ يَكْذِبْ عَلَىَّ يَلِجِ النَّارَ۔»
Indeed what prevents me from relating to you a great number of Ḥadīth is that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘Whoever intends to lie upon me, then let him take his seat in the Fire."
أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّهُ لَيَمْنَعُنِي أَنْ أُحَدِّثَكُمْ حَدِيثًا كَثِيرًا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ تَعَمَّدَ عَلَىَّ كَذِبًا فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ
the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever lies upon me intentionally, then let him take his seat in the Fire."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَىَّ مُتَعَمِّدًا فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ
I arrived at the Masjid and al-Mughīrah, the Amīr of al-Kūfah said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Indeed a lie upon me is not like a lie upon anyone else, for whoever lies upon me intentionally, then he shall take his seat in the Fire."
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ كَذِبًا عَلَىَّ لَيْسَ كَكَذِبٍ عَلَى أَحَدٍ فَمَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَىَّ مُتَعَمِّدًا فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ
from the Prophet ﷺ a similar narration, however he did not mention the words: "Indeed a lie upon me is not like a lie upon anyone else."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِمِثْلِهِ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ إِنَّ كَذِبًا عَلَىَّ لَيْسَ كَكَذِبٍ عَلَى أَحَدٍ
