Silsilah as-Sahihah 1329 — Awe should not prevent speaking the truth

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When a person has knowledge of the truth, or he has seen it, or he has heard it, then the awe and majesty of people should not prevent him from clarifying that truth."
