—may Allah be pleased with him; in those days we were afraid of the whip. (1)

Khalid ibn ʿAbd Allah reported: Yahya ibn ʿUbayd Allah narrated to us, from his father, from Abu Hurayrah, who said:

“When ʿUmar heard one of my narrations he sent for me and asked, ‘Were you with us on the day we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the house of so-and-so?’

I replied, ‘Yes—and I know exactly why you have asked me.’

He said, ‘And why have I asked you?’

I answered, ‘Because on that day the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Whoever deliberately lies about me, let him take his seat in the Fire.”’

He said, ‘In that case, go and narrate.’

Yahya is weak. (2)

ʿAbd al-Wahid ibn Ziyad and others narrated: ʿAsim ibn Kulayb told us; my father told us—he had heard Abu Hurayrah, who would begin his report by saying:

‘The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Whoever deliberately lies about me, let him take his seat in the Fire.”’ (3)

Mughira, from al-Shaʿbi, said: Abu Hurayrah narrated a hadith, Saʿd objected to it, and heated words passed between them until the doors between them shook. (4)

Hushaym narrated from Yaʿla ibn ʿAṭāʾ, from al-Walid ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥman, from Ibn ʿUmar, who said: ‘O Abu Hurayrah, you were the closest of us to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the most knowledgeable among us…’

(1) Its chain of transmission is weak because of Yazid ibn Yusuf, al-Rahabi al-Sanani (from the district of Sana of Damascus), and because his teacher in this chain, Salih ibn Abi al-Akhdar, is also weak. Ibn Asakir likewise records it in his Tarikh, 19/117/2. (2) In fact, the narrator is to be discarded (matruk), as al-Hafiz states in al-Taqrib; his father, Ubayd Allah ibn Abd Allah ibn Wahb al-Taymi, is only deemed reliable by Ibn Hibban. Ibn Asakir also cites the report, 19/117/2. (3) The chain of transmission here is sound; the report appears in the Musnad, 2/413, and in Ibn Asakir’s Tarikh, 19/118/1. (4) Ibn Asakir, Tarikh Dimashq, 19/118/1.

رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ- كُنَّا نَخَافُ السِّيَاطَ (١) . خَالِدُ بنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ أَبِيْهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: بَلَغَ عُمَرَ حَدِيْثِي، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ، فَقَالَ: كُنْتَ مَعَنَا يَوْمَ كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُوْلِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي بَيْتِ فُلاَنٍ؟ قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، وَقَدْ عَلِمْتُ لأَيِّ شَيْءٍ سَأَلْتَنِي. قَالَ: وَلِمَ سَأَلْتُكَ؟ قُلْتُ: إِنَّ رَسُوْلَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ يَوْمَئِذٍ: (مَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَيَّ مُتَعَمِّداً، فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ) . قَالَ: أَمَا لاَ، فَاذْهَبْ فَحَدِّثْ. يَحْيَى: ضَعِيْفٌ (٢) . عَبْدُ الوَاحِدِ بنُ زِيَادٍ، وَغَيْرُهُ: حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمُ بنُ كُلَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ - وَكَانَ يَبْتَدِئُ حَدِيْثَهُ بِأَنْ يَقُوْلَ: قَالَ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ ﷺ: (مَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَيَّ مُتَعَمِّداً فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ (٣)) . مُغِيْرَةُ: عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ، فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ سَعْدٌ حَدِيْثاً، فَوَقَعَ بَيْنَهُمَا كَلاَمٌ حَتَّى أُرْتِجَتِ الأَبْوَابُ بَيْنَهُمَا (٤) . هُشَيْمٌ: عَنْ يَعْلَى بنِ عَطَاءٍ، عَنِ الوَلِيْدِ بنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ: أَنَّهُ قَالَ: يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، كُنْتَ أَلْزَمَنَا لِرَسُوْلِ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَعْلَمَنَا

(١) إسناده ضعيف لضعف يزيد بن يوسف، وهو الرحبي الصنعاني: صنعاء دمشق، وشيخه فيه وهو صالح بن أبي الاخضر ضعيف أيضا. وأخرجه ابن عساكر في " تاريخه " ١٩ / ١١٧ / ٢. (٢) بل متروك كما قال الحافظ في " التقريب " وأبوه عبيد الله بن عبد الله بن موهب التيمي لم يوثقه غير ابن حبان، وأخرجه ابن عساكر ١٩ / ١١٧ / ٢. (٣) إسناده قوي، وهو في " المسند " ٢ / ٤١٣، و" تاريخ ابن عساكر " ١٩ / ١١٨ / ١. (٤) " تاريخ دمشق " لابن عساكر ١٩ / ١١٨ / ١.
