Sahih Muslim Hadith 63

English

[63] It was narrated that Hammâm said: "Abü Dâwüd Al- A'ma came to us and started saying: 'Al-Barâ' narrated to us' and 'Zaid bin Arqam narrated to us.' We mentioned that to Qatâdah and he said: 'He is lying, he never heard anything from them; rather he used to beg from the people at the time of the severe plague." " Meaning, he exaggerates, telling lies. Like the merchant who lies about the price he paid for the goods he is selling.
