حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ ، قَالَ : نَا أَبُو طَلْحَةَ مُوسَى بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْخُزَاعِيُّ قَالَ : نَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ قَالَ : نَا وُهَيْبُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ قَالَ : نَا عَطَاءُ بْنُ السَّائِبِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا لَبِسَ حُلَّةً مِثْلَ حُلَّةِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- ، ثُمَّ أَتَى أَهْلَ بَيْتٍ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ فَقَالَ : النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- أَمَرَنِي أَيَّ أَهْلِ بَيْتٍ شِئْتُ اسْتَطْلَعْتُ ، فَقَالُوا : عَهْدُنَا بِرَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- وَهُوَ لَا يَأْمُرُ بِالْفَوَاحِشِ ، قَالَ : فَأَعَدُّوا لَهُ بَيْتًا ، وَأَرْسَلُوا رَسُولًا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ، فَأَخْبَرَهُ ، فَقَالَ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ : I " انْطَلِقَا إِلَيْهِ ، فَإِنْ وَجَدْتُمَاهُ حَيًّا فَاقْتُلَاهُ ، ثُمَّ حَرِّقَاهُ بِالنَّارِ ، وَإِنْ وَجَدْتُمَاهُ قَدْ كُفِيتُمَاهُ فَحَرِّقَاهُ ، وَلَا أَرَاكُمَا إِلَّا وَقَدْ كُفِيتُمَاهُ I " ، فَأَتَيَاهُ فَوَجَدَاهُ قَدْ خَرَجَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ يَبُولُ ، فَلَدَغَتْهُ حَيَّةٌ أَفْعَى ، فَمَاتَ ، فَحَرَّقَاهُ بِالنَّارِ ، ثُمَّ رَجَعَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- ، فَأَخْبَرَاهُ الْخَبَرَ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- : مَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَيَّ مُتَعَمِّدًا فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ . لَمْ يَرْوِهِ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ إِلَّا وُهَيْبٌ ، وَلَا عَنْ وُهَيْبٍ إِلَّا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ I " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a man put on a suit of clothes (hullah) like the suit of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), then came to a household in Madinah and said: "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has commanded me that I may look in on (the women of) whichever household I wish (without a veil)." They said (doubting him): "What we know of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is that he (peace and blessings be upon him) does not command indecency." The narrator said: So they prepared a place for him and sent a messenger to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), who informed him (peace and blessings be upon him) of the situation. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both): "Go to him; if you find him alive, kill him, then burn him with fire; and if you find that you have been spared the task of him (that is, he has died), then burn him. And I think that you will have been spared the task of him."
So the two of them went to him and found that he had gone out at night to relieve himself and a viper had bitten him and he had died, so they burned him with fire. Then they returned to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and told him (peace and blessings be upon him) the whole story, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever deliberately lies about me, let him take his seat in the Fire."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated it from Ata except Wuhayb, and no one from Wuhayb except Ahmad bin Ishaq, and Abu Talhah is alone in narrating it."
