Introduction

Bismillah.

My intention is to collate all the hadiths that are found both in Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim. I will be using the text, Al-Lu'lu wal-Marjan, by Fuwad Abdul Baqi and translated by Muhammad Muhsin Khan, as a basis for my editing and annotations of these hadiths. The compiler has used chapter headings from Sahih Muslim, which I have transferred into the notes as Imam Muslim did not have any chapter headings in his text.

My methodology is as follows:

1. References will be provided for both Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim, these include English translations and online versions.
2. Critically evaluate the designation of “agreed upon” (muttafaqun alayh) using other sources, such as Riyad as-Salihin, Mishkat al-Masabih and Bulugh al-Maram.
3. Highlight variations in the Arabic texts of the same hadiths.
4. Include both isnads from both sahihs which were removed in Al-Lu'lu wal-Marjan.
5. Make annotations of heading titles made by different scholars.
6. Outline how the hadith has been interpreted.
7. Edit the English translations of the hadiths to improve flow and clarity.

Please note that the first four hadiths of Al-Lu'lu wal-Marjan are not agreed upon (muttafaqun alayh), and appear under the heading, “The Gravity of (Telling) a Lie Against Allah’s Messenger;” as such I have not numbered them.

Hadith A

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْجَعْدِ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي مَنْصُورٌ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رِبْعِيَّ بْنَ حِرَاشٍ، يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا، يَقُولُ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ لاَ تَكْذِبُوا عَلَىَّ، فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَىَّ فَلْيَلِجِ النَّارَ ‏"‏‏

Narrated `Ali: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Do not tell a lie against me for whoever tells a lie against me then he will surely enter the Hell-fire."

Source: Sahih al-Bukhari 106.

Notes

• It is in the Book of Knowledge, in the chapter titled, “The Sin of a Person who tells a Lie Against the Prophet.”

وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَابْنُ، بَشَّارٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ حِرَاشٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَلِيًّا، - رضى الله عنه - يَخْطُبُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ لاَ تَكْذِبُوا عَلَىَّ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ يَكْذِبْ عَلَىَّ يَلِجِ النَّارَ ‏"

On authority of Rab’iy ibn Hirāsh, that he heard Alī, may Allah be pleased with him, giving a Khutbah and he said that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Do not lie upon me; indeed whoever lies upon me will enter the Fire’.

Source: Sahih Muslim 1.

Notes

• This hadith is in the introduction of Sahih Muslim, which means that its authenticity is not as strong as hadiths in the text.
• The chapter heading is “Warning About Lying Upon the Messenger of Allah.”

* Please note that Imam Muslim did not put any chapter headings in his text, these were added by later scholars like Qadi Iyad and Imam an-Nawawi to help the reader find hadiths and for easier reading.

Hadith B

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، قَالَ أَنَسٌ إِنَّهُ لَيَمْنَعُنِي أَنْ أُحَدِّثَكُمْ حَدِيثًا كَثِيرًا أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَنْ تَعَمَّدَ عَلَىَّ كَذِبًا فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ ‏"‏‏

Narrated Anas: The fact which stops me from narrating a great number of Hadiths to you is that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Whoever tells a lie against me intentionally, then (surely) let him occupy his seat in Hell-fire."

Source: Sahih al-Bukhari 108.

Notes

• It is also in the Book of Knowledge, in the chapter titled, “The Sin of a Person who tells a Lie Against the Prophet.”

وَحَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ عُلَيَّةَ - عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ صُهَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّهُ لَيَمْنَعُنِي أَنْ أُحَدِّثَكُمْ حَدِيثًا كَثِيرًا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَنْ تَعَمَّدَ عَلَىَّ كَذِبًا فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ ‏"‏ ‏

Anas bin Mālik said: ‘Indeed what prevents me from relating to you a great number of Ḥadīth is that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Whoever intends to lie upon me, then let him take his seat in the Fire.’

Source: Sahih Muslim 2.

Notes

• This hadith is also in the introduction of Sahih Muslim, under the chapter heading, “Warning About Lying Upon the Messenger of Allah.”

Hadith C

حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي حَصِينٍ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ تَسَمَّوْا بِاسْمِي وَلاَ تَكْتَنُوا بِكُنْيَتِي، وَمَنْ رَآنِي فِي الْمَنَامِ فَقَدْ رَآنِي، فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لاَ يَتَمَثَّلُ فِي صُورَتِي، وَمَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَىَّ مُتَعَمِّدًا فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ ‏"

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Name yourselves with my name (use my name) but do not name yourselves with my Kunya name (i.e. Abul Qasim). And whoever sees me in a dream then surely he has seen me for Satan cannot impersonate me. And whoever tells a lie against me (intentionally), then (surely) let him occupy his seat in Hell-fire."

Source: Sahih al-Bukhari 110.

Notes

• It is also in the Book of Knowledge, in the chapter titled, “The Sin of a Person who tells a Lie Against the Prophet.”
• Al-Lu'lu wal-Marjan only has the matn of the relevant section of the hadith which is actually much longer, as stated above.

وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الْغُبَرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي حَصِينٍ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ مَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَىَّ مُتَعَمِّدًا فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ ‏"

Abū Hurayrah said, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Whoever lies upon me intentionally, then let him take his seat in the Fire’.

Source: Sahih Muslim 3.

Notes

• This hadith is also in the introduction of Sahih Muslim, under the chapter heading, “Warning About Lying Upon the Messenger of Allah.”

Hadith D

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ، عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ‏"‏ إِنَّ كَذِبًا عَلَىَّ لَيْسَ كَكَذِبٍ عَلَى أَحَدٍ، مَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَىَّ مُتَعَمِّدًا فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ ‏"‏‏.‏ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ‏"‏ مَنْ نِيحَ عَلَيْهِ يُعَذَّبُ بِمَا نِيحَ عَلَيْهِ ‏"‏‏

Narrated Al-Mughira: I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "Ascribing false things to me is not like ascribing false things to anyone else. Whosoever tells a lie against me intentionally then surely let him occupy his seat in Hell-Fire." I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "The deceased who is wailed over is tortured for that wailing."

Source: Sahih al-Bukhari 1291.

Notes

• It is in the Book of Funerals, in the chapter titled, “What Sort of Wailing over a Deceased is Disliked.”
• Al-Lu'lu wal-Marjan only has the first part of the matn, the ending has been deleted as stated above.

وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ، قَالَ أَتَيْتُ الْمَسْجِدَ وَالْمُغِيرَةُ أَمِيرُ الْكُوفَةِ قَالَ فَقَالَ الْمُغِيرَةُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ كَذِبًا عَلَىَّ لَيْسَ كَكَذِبٍ عَلَى أَحَدٍ فَمَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَىَّ مُتَعَمِّدًا فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ ‏"

Al-Mughīrah, the Amīr of al-Kūfah said: ‘I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying, ‘Indeed a lie upon me is not like a lie upon anyone else, for whoever lies upon me intentionally, then he shall take his seat in the Fire’.’

Source: Sahih Muslim 4a.

Notes

• This hadith is also in the introduction of Sahih Muslim, under the chapter heading, “Warning About Lying Upon the Messenger of Allah.”
• Unlike the hadith in Sahih al-Bukhari, this hadith does not mention anything about wailing.
