Hadith 10617

حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ , أَخْبَرَنَا جُهَيْرُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الْعَبْدِيُّ , عَنْ خِدَاشِ بْنِ عَيَّاشٍ , قََالَ : كُنْتُ فِي حَلْقَةٍ بِالْكُوفَةِ , فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ يُحَدِّثُ , قََالَ : كُنَّا جُلُوسًا مَعَ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ , فَقَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : " مَنْ شَهِدَ عَلَى مُسْلِمٍ شَهَادَةً لَيْسَ لَهَا بِأَهْلٍ , فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ " .
Khudash bin ‘Ayyash, may Allah have mercy on him, says that we were sitting in a study circle in Kufa where a man was narrating hadiths. He said that we were sitting with Hazrat Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, and he said: I heard the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, say: Whoever gives testimony concerning a Muslim for something he is not entitled to, then he should prepare his abode in Hell.
