Warning against lying and prompting others to lie

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah and Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever devises a false and fabricated report is (in sin) like the one who narrates it onward (that is, the one who invents a lie and the one who spreads it are equally sinful)." It was asked: O Messenger of Allah, how does he devise it? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is the man who meets another man and says (falsely) that such-and-such happened, and thus he initiates it. So let none of you ever become a key (that is, a means or opener of the way) to evil and falsehood."
The hadith narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him): "Whoever attributes to me something I did not say," has already been mentioned in the Book of Slaughtered Animals (al-Dhaba'ih).

It is narrated from Hammad bin Zayd (may Allah have mercy on him) that he said: I prompted Salamah bin Alqamah (may Allah have mercy on him) with the wording of a hadith (as a test, that is, I repeated it before him myself), and he narrated that same hadith back to me. Then he (realizing his slip) turned back and said by way of advice: "If you want to prove your companion a liar (that is, provoke him into saying something that is not firmly in his memory), then prompt him (that is, suggest words to him from yourself)."
Abu Ya'la recorded it in his Musnad.
