Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ghafiqi (Malik bin Abdullah) (may Allah be pleased with him) said that he heard Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrating hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said: This companion of yours is one who retains (what he heard) and is mortal. The last instruction the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave us was that he said: "Whoever has retained anything from me, let him narrate it; and whoever deliberately lies about me, let him take his seat in the Fire."
