Hadith 4
وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ ، قَالَ : أَتَيْتُ الْمَسْجِدَ ، وَالْمُغِيرَةُ أَمِيرُ الْكُوفَةِ ، قَال : فَقَالَ الْمُغِيرَةُ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " إِنَّ كَذِبًا عَلَيَّ ، لَيْسَ كَكَذِبٍ عَلَى أَحَدٍ ، فَمَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَيَّ مُتَعَمِّدًا ، فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ " .
Muhammad bin 'Abd Allah ibn Numayr narrated to us, my father narrated to us, Sa’īd bin Ubayd narrated to us, Alī bin Rabī’ah narrated to us, he said: ‘I arrived at the Masjid and al-Mughīrah, the Amīr of al-Kūfah said: ‘I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah upon him, saying, ‘Indeed a lie upon me is not like a lie upon anyone else, for whoever lies upon me intentionally, then he shall take his seat in the Fire’.’

Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues:
Whatever is attributed to the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) becomes part of the religion and Shariah. However, the statement of anyone else does not become religion or Shariah. Therefore, attributing something to the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) is not so light and easy as it is to attribute something to someone else. There is not as much danger and fear in attributing a statement to someone else as there can be—and indeed should be—when attributing something to the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).

In these narrations, the punishment for fabricating lies against the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) is mentioned, and in reality, lying against the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) is worse than all other lies in the world.
