Hadith 1Q1

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ وَالْعَاقِبَةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ وَصَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ خَاتَمِ النَّبِيِّينَ وَعَلَى جَمِيعِ الأَنْبِيَاءِ وَالْمُرْسَلِينَ.
In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. All praise and thanks are for Allah, the Lord of all the worlds, and the best reward is for those who adopt piety. May Allah send His mercy upon the Seal of the Prophets, Muhammad (peace be upon him), and upon all the prophets and messengers.

Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues:
If narrating such ahadith is considered a lie, the falsehood of which is only presumed (zanni), then how can it be permissible to narrate a hadith whose attribution as marfu‘ (directly attributed to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) is neither known nor established, without clarifying its status?

Fiqh al-Hadith:
➊ Lying is absolutely forbidden (haram), but to lie about Allah and His Messenger is a major sin (kabirah), forbidden, and according to some scholars, even disbelief (kufr).
➋ Wretched are those people who, despite this severe warning and the evidences, lie about Allah and His Messenger, write and narrate fabricated (mawdu‘) and baseless narrations. Do they not fear Allah’s punishment?!
➌ The person who narrates false traditions to people without warning them is equally a partner with the lying narrators.
◄ If in the mentioned hadith, “liars” (kadhdhibayn) is taken as dual (referring to two), then two persons are addressed in this hadith: the one who fabricates the false hadith, and the one who narrates this false hadith to people without warning them.
➍ From this severe warning, it is implicitly established that hadith is revelation (wahy) and a proof (hujjah), for the protection of which it has been clarified that the one who narrates a false hadith is a liar, and such a person will enter Hell, as is established from other authentic (sahih) ahadith.
➎ It is necessary for scholars that, when narrating hadith, they verify it, and in fact, always keep in view the knowledge of the names of narrators (‘ilm asma’ al-rijal) and the principles of hadith (usul al-hadith).
