Hadith 415
Abu Uthman narrates: When a claim was made regarding Ziyad, I met Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) and I said: What are you people doing? I heard Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) saying this, he says: Both my ears heard this and my heart preserved it. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever attributes himself to someone as his father in Islam, knowing that he is not his father, Paradise is forbidden for such a person.” So Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I also heard this from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).
