Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The thing that prevents me from narrating the sayings of the Messenger of Allah is not that I am not among the companions who remember many ahadith; the real matter is that I bear witness that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Whoever attributes to me something which I did not say, then let him prepare his abode in the Fire.
