حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ . ح وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حَفْصٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ خُبَيْبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ ، قَالَ ابْنُ حُسَيْنٍ فِي حَدِيثِهِ , عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " كَفَى بِالْمَرْءِ إِثْمًا أَنْ يُحَدِّثَ بِكُلِّ مَا سَمِعَ " , قال أبو داود : وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ حَفْصٌ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ أبو داود : وَلَمْ يُسْنِدْهُ إِلَّا هَذَا الشَّيْخُ يَعْنِي عَلِيَّ بْنَ حَفْصٍ الْمَدَائِنِيَّ .
Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Prophet ﷺ said: It is enough falsehood for a man to relate everything he hears. Abu Dawud said: Hafs did not mention Abu Hurairah (in his version). Abu Dawud said: No other transmitter except this old man, that is, Ali bin Hafs al-Mada'ini related the perfect chain of this tradition.

Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues:
Generally, people continue to speak both false and true statements of all kinds. Therefore, if a person relates every heard statement without investigation, he will inevitably speak falsehood. Thus, it is not correct to transmit anyone’s statement without reflection or verification.

Takhrij al-Hadith:
[صحيح مسلم 7]
Fiqh al-Hadith:
➊ Only authentic (sahih) narrations should be cited as evidence.
➋ It is not permissible to mention weak (da'if) and rejected (mardud) narrations.
➌ The principle for living one's life should be that a person always acts with caution and investigation; it should not be that, like the Punjabi proverb "lai lag," he runs after every hearsay and then falls into the pit of destruction.
➍ Hadith is a proof.
