Have the people invented lies ascribed to the Messenger of Allah -saww ...

Have the people invented lies ascribed to the Messenger of Allah -saww , and are explaining the Quran by their opinion?’ He -asws came near me, then said: ‘You have asked, and so understand the answer.

In the hands of the people there is right and wrong, and truth and lies, and Abrogating and the Abrogated, and the general and the special, and the Decisive and the Allegorical, and the preserved and the illusion, and forged lies on the Messenger of Allah -saww from before, to the extent that he -saww issued a sermon, and said: ‘O people! A lot of lies have been ascribed to me -saww . Whosoever has done this deliberately will have a seat in the Fire’.

ثم كذب عليه من بعدهوإنما أتاكم الحديث من أربعة ، ليس لهم خامس : رجل منافق يظهر الايمان ، متصنع بالاسلام ، لا يتأثّم ، ولا يتحرج أن يكذب على رسول الله ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) ـ إلى أن قال : ـ ورجل سمع من رسول الله ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) شيئاً ، لم يحمله على وجهه ، ووهم فيه ، ولم يتعمد كذبا ، فهو في يده ، يقول به ، ويعمل به ، ويرويه ، فيقول : أنا سمعته من رسول الله ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) ، فلو علم المسلمون أنه وهم لرفضوه ، ولو علم هوأنه وهم لرفضه ، ورجل ثالث سمع من رسول الله ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) شيئا أمر به ثم نهى عنه ، وهو لا يعلم : أو نهى عنه ، ثم أمر به ، وهو لا يعلم ، فحفظ منسوخه ، ولم يحفظ الناسخ ، فلو علم أنه منسوخ لرفضه ، ولو علم الناس إذ سمعوه منه أنه منسوخ لرفضوه ، Then lies were still ascribed to him -saww afterwards.

Ahadith have reached you from four, and there is no fifth – A hypocritical man who displays faith, manufactures Islam, poses as such, and does not feel it as wrong to ascribe lies to the Messenger of Allah -saww ’ – until he -asws said: ‘And the man who heard from the Messenger of Allah -saww something, did not understand its perspective, and does not intend to lie. It is in his hands, he speaks by it, and acts by it, and narrates it.

He says, ‘I have heard this from the Messenger of Allah -saww . If the Muslims think it to be imagination they should reject it, and if they know it to be from him -saww then it is an obligation’. And the third man heard from the Messenger of Allah -saww something that he -saww ordered then prohibited it later on, and he did not know, or prohibited it, and then ordered it later on, and he did not know. He memorised the abrogated and did not memorise the abrogating.

Had he known it to have been abrogated, he would have rejected it, and had the people known that what they have heard from his is an abrogated order, they would have rejected it.
