حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا دُجَيْنٌ أَبُو الْغُصْنِ بَصْرِيٌّ قَالَ
قَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ فَلَقِيتُ أَسْلَمَ مَوْلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ فَقُلْتُ: حَدِّثْنِي عَنْ عُمَرَ، فَقَالَ: لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ أَخَافُ أَنْ أَزِيدَ، أَوْ أَنْقُصَ، كُنَّا إِذَا قُلْنَا لِعُمَرَ: حَدِّثْنَا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ: أَخَافُ أَنْ أَزِيدَ حَرْفًا، أَوْ أَنْقُصَ، إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ: مَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَيَّ فَهُوَ فِي النَّارِ.

✧ I came to Madinah and met Aslam, the freed slave of Umar b. al-Khattab, and said: Tell me about Umar. He said: I cannot; I fear that I might add or subtract. When we said to Umar, 'Tell us from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ,' he would say: I fear that I might add a letter or subtract one. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Whoever lies about me will be in the Fire.
