English narration

Narrated by أبو هريرة الدوسي

Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Prophet ﷺ said: It is enough falsehood for a man to relate everything he hears. Abu Dawud said: Hafs did not mention Abu Hurairah (in his version). Abu Dawud said: No other transmitter except this old man, that is, Ali bin Hafs al-Mada'ini related the perfect chain of this tradition.

حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ . ح وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حَفْصٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ خُبَيْبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ ، قَالَ ابْنُ حُسَيْنٍ فِي حَدِيثِهِ , عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : "

كَفَى بِالْمَرْءِ إِثْمًا أَنْ يُحَدِّثَ بِكُلِّ مَا سَمِعَ

" , قال أبو داود : وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ حَفْصٌ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ أبو داود : وَلَمْ يُسْنِدْهُ إِلَّا هَذَا الشَّيْخُ يَعْنِي عَلِيَّ بْنَ حَفْصٍ الْمَدَائِنِيَّ .
