38. Spreading Hearsay

عن حَفْصِ بن عَاصِمٍ قال قال رسول اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَفَى بِالْمَرْءِ كَذِبًا أَنْ يُحَدِّثَ بِكُلِّ ما سمع

Hafs ibn ‘Asim (rta)stated that God’s Messenger (sws) said: “It is enough for a person to be regarded a liar if he narrates every thing he hears [without verifying it].”[1]
