Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 653

وَعَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَيَّ مُتَعَمِّدًا فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْ جَهَنَّمَ " فَشَقَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَى أَصْحَابِهِ ، فَقَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، نُحَدِّثُ بِالْحَدِيثِ نَزِيدُ وَنَنْقُصُ ! . قَالَ : " لَيْسَ أَعْنِيكُمْ ، إِنَّمَا أَعْنِي الَّذِي يَكْذِبُ عَلَيَّ مُتَحَدِّثًا يَطْلُبُ بِهِ شِينَ الْإِسْلَامِ " ، قَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّكَ قُلْتَ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْ جَهَنَّمَ ، وَهَلْ لِجَهَنَّمَ عَيْنَانِ ؟ قَالَ : " نَعَمْ ، أَمَّا سَمِعْتُمُ اللَّهَ - تَعَالَى - يَقُولُ " إِذَا رَأَتْهُمْ مِنْ مَكَانٍ بَعِيدٍ " فَهَلْ تَرَاهُمْ إِلَّا بِعَيْنَيْنِ ؟ " .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْكَبِيرِ ، وَفِيهِ الْأَحْوَصُ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ ، ضَعَّفَهُ النَّسَائِيُّ وَغَيْرُهُ ، وَوَثَّقَهُ الْعِجْلِيُّ وَيَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْقَطَّانُ فِي رِوَايَةٍ ، وَرَوَاهُ عَنِ الْأَحْوَصِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ ضَعِيفٌ .
Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever deliberately attributes a lie to me should make his abode between the two eyes of Hell." This weighed heavily on his (peace and blessings be upon him) Companions. They said: "O Messenger of Allah! When we narrate a hadith, we add to it and leave things out." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I do not mean you. I only mean the one who attributes a lie to me, seeking by narrating it to disgrace Islam." The people said: "O Messenger of Allah! You (peace and blessings be upon him) said: between the two eyes of Hell. Does Hell have two eyes?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes! Have you not heard Allah Almighty saying: 'When it sees them from a distant place'?" (The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:) "So it can only see them with eyes."
Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir; its chain contains a narrator, al-Ahwas bin Hakim, whom al-Nasa'i (may Allah have mercy on him) and others declared da'if (weak), while al-Ijli, and Yahya bin Sa'id al-Qattan in one report, declared him thiqah (trustworthy). It was narrated from al-Ahwas by Muhammad bin al-Fadl bin Atiyyah, who is a weak narrator.
