It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Namla Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that he was sitting with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when a Jewish man came and said: "O Muhammad! Do these funerals speak?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: "Allah Almighty knows best." He said: "I bear witness that they do speak." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When the People of the Book relate something to you, do not confirm it nor deny it, but rather say: «آمَنَّا بِاللّٰہِ وَکُتُبِہِ وَرُسُلِہِ» (We believe in Allah, His Books, and His Messengers.) So if it is true, you have not denied it, and if it is false, you have not confirmed it."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Convey from me, even if it is only one verse, and narrate from the Children of Israel, there is no harm in that. And whoever deliberately lies about me, let him prepare his abode in the Hellfire."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: We said, "O Messenger of Allah! Can we narrate from the Children of Israel?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes, you may narrate from the Children of Israel, there is no harm in it, for indeed whatever you narrate from them, among them are found matters even more astonishing than that."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Soon there will arise in my Ummah Dajjal and liars, they will narrate to you new ahadith which neither you nor your forefathers have heard, so beware of them, lest they lead you into tribulation."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Samurah bin Jundub, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever relates a hadith from me, while thinking that it is a lie, then he will be among the liars."

Sayyiduna Mughirah bin Shu'bah (may Allah be pleased with him) has also narrated a similar hadith from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Refrain from narrating hadiths from me, except those which you have knowledge of. For indeed, whoever deliberately lies about me, let him prepare his abode in the Hellfire."

Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) delivering a sermon from this pulpit: "O people! Refrain from narrating many ahadith from me. Whoever attributes something to me should only speak the truth and what is right. So whoever attributes to me something which I did not say, then let him prepare his abode in the Hellfire."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Narrate from me and do not lie about me. Whoever deliberately lies about me has made his abode in Hell. And narrate from the Children of Israel as well, there is no harm in it."

Yahya bin Maimoon Hadhrami (may Allah have mercy on him) says: Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ghafiqi (may Allah be pleased with him) heard Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Aamir Juhani (may Allah be pleased with him) narrating the sayings of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) from the pulpit. Then Abu Musa said: "This companion of yours is either one who remembers (the ahadith) or one who will be destroyed. Indeed, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave us his final advice, saying: 'Hold fast to the Book of Allah, and soon you will return to a people who will be eager to hear my ahadith. So whoever attributes to me something I did not say, let him prepare his abode in the Fire. And whoever has memorized some of my ahadith, let him narrate them.'"
