Hadith 884
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ قَالَ أَبِي: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُمَرَ، عَنْ عُمَرَ - فِيمَا أَرَى شَكَّ أَبِي - أَنَّهُ قَالَ: حَسْبُ امْرِئٍ مِنَ الْكَذِبِ أَنْ يُحَدِّثَ بِكُلِّ مَا سَمِعَ. ¤ قَالَ: وَفِيمَا أَرَى، قَالَ: قَالَ عُمَرُ: أَمَا فِي الْمَعَارِيضِ مَا يَكْفِي الْمُسْلِمَ مِنَ الْكَذِبِ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: It is enough for a man to be considered a liar that he narrates everything he hears.
The narrator says that, in my opinion, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) also said: Is there not protection from lying for a Muslim in adopting indirect speech?
