Abu Khaldah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that he heard Maymun al-Kurdi (may Allah have mercy on him) while he was with Malik bin Dinar (may Allah have mercy on him), and Malik bin Dinar (may Allah have mercy on him) said to him: "What is the matter with the Shaykh that he does not narrate from his father? Your father lived in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and heard from him (peace and blessings be upon him)." He replied: "My father would not narrate to us from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), fearing that he might add or leave something out. He used to say: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Whoever deliberately lies about me, let him take his seat in Hell.' However, I will narrate to you from him (my father) a hadith that I heard him narrate more than once, twice or three times. He used to say: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Any man who marries a woman, intending on the very day he marries her not to give her her dowry (mahr), will meet Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, on the Day of Resurrection as a fornicator. And any man who takes a loan with no intention of repaying it, then dies without having repaid it, will meet Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, as a thief.'"
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Only Abu Sa'id, the freed slave of Banu Hashim, narrated this hadith from Abu Khaldah, and it is narrated from Abu Maymun al-Kurdi only with this chain."
