أَخْبَرَنَا
أَسَدُ بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا
شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ
عَتَّابٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ
أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، يَقُولُ: لَوْلَا أَنِّي أَخْشَى أَنْ أُخْطِئَ لَحَدَّثْتُكُمْ بِأَشْيَاءَ سَمِعْتُهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَوْ قَالَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَذَاكَ أَنِّي سَمِعْتُهُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ:
"مَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَيَّ مُتَعَمِّدًا، فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنْ النَّارِ".
Itab said, I heard Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) say: If I did not fear making a mistake, I would narrate such things which I have heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) or which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has stated. And this (i.e., refraining from narrating) is because I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever deliberately attributes a lie to me, let him prepare his abode in the Hellfire."
