Sahih Muslim Hadith 40

English

[40] It was narrated from Muhammad bin Yahyâ bin Sa'eed AI-Qattân that his father said: "We have not seen any fault in the righteous worse than their telling lies in narrating I-IadItL." Ibn AbI 'Attâb said: "I met Muhammad bin Yayâ bin Sa'eed Al-Qattãn and I asked him about him. He said, narrating from his father: 'You will not see in good people anything worse than in telling lies about Hadith." Muslim said: (This means) Lies flow from their tongues but they do not lie deliberately.
