Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 3066 — Narrating by meaning

وَقَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ : حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ هُوَ ابْنُ هَارُونَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَصْبَغُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ الْوَرَّاقُ ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ دُرَيْكٍ ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : مَنْ يَقُلْ عَلَيَّ مَا لَمْ أَقُلْ أَوِ ادَّعَى إِلَيَّ أَوِ انْتَمَى إِلَى غَيْرِ مَوَالِيهِ ، فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْ جَهَنَّمَ مَقْعَدًا قِيلَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَهَلْ لَهَا عَيْنَانِ ؟ قَالَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : نَعَمْ ، أَلَمْ تَسْمَعُوا إِلَى قَوْلِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ : إِذَا رَأَتْهُمْ مِنْ مَكَانٍ بَعِيدٍ سَمِعُوا لَهَا تَغَيُّظًا وَزَفِيرًا
فَكَفَفْنَا عَنِ الْحَدِيثِ حَتَّى أَنْكَرَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ شَأْنِنَا ، فَقَالَ لَنَا : مَا لِي لَا أَسْمَعُكُمْ تَتَحَدَّثُونَ ؟ قُلْنَا : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَكَيْفَ نَتَحَدَّثُ وَقَدْ قُلْتَ مَا قُلْتَ ؟ وَنَحْنُ لَا نُقِيمُ الْحَدِيثَ نُقَدِّمُ وَنُؤَخِّرُ ، وَنَزِيدُ وَنُنْقِصُ ، فَقَالَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : لَيْسَ ذَلِكَ عَنَيْتُ وَإِنَّمَا عَنَيْتُ مَنْ أَرَادَ عَيْبِي وَشَيْنَ الْإِسْلَامِ .
It is narrated from a Companion of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever attributes to me something I did not say, or makes a (false) claim, or ascribes himself to other than his (freeing) masters, let him take his seat between the two eyes of Hell." It was said: "O Messenger of Allah, does Hell have two eyes?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes. Have you not heard the saying of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic: 'When it sees them from a distant place, they will hear its raging and roaring' [Surah al-Furqan: 12]?"
The narrator says: Then we stopped narrating hadith (out of fear of this warning), until the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) expressed his displeasure at this conduct of ours and asked us: "What is the matter, that I do not hear you narrating hadith?" We said: "O Messenger of Allah, how can we narrate hadith when you have stated the warning you have stated? And we do not preserve the hadith (word for word); sometimes we put a word before and sometimes after, and sometimes there is addition or omission in it." At this he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I did not mean those (human errors); rather, I spoke about the one who intends to find fault with me and to disfigure Islam."
