Abu Malik al-Ashja'i narrates from his father this saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Whoever deliberately attributes a lie to me, let him prepare to take his particular seat in Hell."
Imam al-Tabarani in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir and Imam al-Bazzar recorded this narration; its chain contains a narrator, Khalaf bin Khalifah, whom Yahya bin Ma'in and others declared thiqah (trustworthy), while some declared him da'if (weak).
