The Danger of Hearsay

Reminder to self:

It was narrated that Hafs ibn ‘Aasim said: The Messenger of Allah (s) said: “It is enough lying for a man to speak of everything that he hears.”

It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet (s) said: “It is enough sin for a man to speak of everything that he hears.”

It was narrated that Abu Qalabah said: Abu Mas’ud said to Abu ‘Abd-Allah, or Abu ‘Abd-Allah said to Abu Mas’ud: What did you hear the Messenger of Allah (s) say about saying, “They say…”?

He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (s) say: “How bad it is for a man to keep saying, ‘They say…’”

Again, reminder to myself.
