Silsilah as-Sahihah 330 — Attributing lies to the Prophet is a grave

Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: "Refrain from narrating too many ahadith from me. Whoever attributes something to me should speak the truth and what is right, because whoever attributes to me something which I did not say, then let him prepare his abode in the Hellfire."
