Hadith 5Q1

أَلاَ تَرَى أَنَّكَ إِذَا وَازَنْتَ هَؤُلاَءِ الثَّلاَثَةَ الَّذِينَ سَمَّيْنَاهُمْ عَطَاءً وَيَزِيدَ وَلَيْثًا بِمَنْصُورِ بْنِ الْمُعْتَمِرِ وَسُلَيْمَانَ الأَعْمَشِ وَإِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي خَالِدٍ فِي إِتْقَانِ الْحَدِيثِ وَالاِسْتِقَامَةِ فِيهِ وَجَدْتَهُمْ مُبَايِنِينَ لَهُمْ لاَ يُدَانُونَهُمْ لاَ شَكَّ عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ بِالْحَدِيثِ فِي ذَلِكَ لِلَّذِي اسْتَفَاضَ عِنْدَهُمْ مِنْ صِحَّةِ حِفْظِ مَنْصُورٍ وَالأَعْمَشِ وَإِسْمَاعِيلَ وَإِتْقَانِهِمْ لِحَدِيثِهِمْ وَأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوا مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ عَطَاءٍ وَيَزِيدَ وَلَيْثٍ
Do you not see that these three individuals: Ata, Yazid, and Laith, whose names we have just mentioned, if you compare them in the memorization and precision of hadith with Mansur bin Mu'tamir, Sulaiman A'mash, and Ismail bin Abi Khalid, you will find them quite far behind these individuals; they do not even come close to them. The experts in the science of hadith have no doubt about this: the qualities of accuracy in memorization and expertise in narrating hadith that the scholars observe in Mansur, A'mash, and Ismail are not known to be present in Ata, Yazid, and Laith in the same way.

Maulana Ataullah Sajid
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.
