حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّی قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ مَهْدِيٍّ يَقُولُا لَا يَکُونُ الرَّجُلُ إِمَامًا يُقْتَدَی بِهِ حَتَّی يُمْسِکَ عَنْ بَعْضِ مَا سَمِعَ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 12
Muhammad bin ul-Muthannā narrated to us, he said Abd ur-Rahman narrated to us, he said Sufyān narrated to us, on authority of Abī Ishāq, on authority of Abīl-Ahwas, on authority of Abd Illah, he said: ‘It is enough of a lie for a man that he narrates everything he hears’.
