Sayyiduna Wathilah bin al-Asqa' (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that he heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "The greatest of fabricators is the one who ascribes himself to someone other than his father, or lies about the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), or lies about his eyes (i.e. claims to have seen what he has not seen)."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Only Yunus narrated this hadith from al-Zuhri, and only Talhah bin Zayd from Yunus, and Muhammad bin Mahan is alone in narrating it."
