"إِنَّ أَعْظَمَ الْفريةِ أنْ يفترى الرَّجُلُ على عَيْنِهِ، يَقُولُ: رأَيتُ ولم يَرَ، ويَفْترِى على وَالِدَيْه، أَو يقول: سَمِعَنِى ولَم يَسْمَعْنِى".

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "The greatest of lies are three: for a man to fabricate seeing something with his eyes when he did not see it, and to fabricate against his parents by claiming to have been called by someone other than his father, or to say 'He heard from me' when he did not hear from me."

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "The greatest of lies is three: for a man to lie about what he has seen, when he has not seen it; to lie about his parents and claim to have been invited by someone other than his father; and to say that he has heard something when he has not heard it."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: "The greatest lie a person can make is to attribute seeing something with their own eyes when they did not see it, or to fabricate claims about their parents, or to say that they heard something when they did not hear it."
