عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((حَدِّثُوا عَنِّي وَلَا تَكْذِبُوا عَلَيَّ، وَمَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَيَّ مُتَعَمِّدًا فَقَدْ تَبَوَّأَ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ، وَحَدِّثُوا عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَلَا حَرَجَ))
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."
