Arabic Text
قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ
قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي رَبِيعَةُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ وَاثِلَةَ بْنَ الْأَسْقَعِ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ أَعْظَمَ الْفِرْيَةِ ثَلَاثٌ أَنْ يَفْتَرِيَ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى عَيْنَيْهِ يَقُولُ رَأَيْتُ وَلَمْ يَرَ وَأَنْ يَفْتَرِيَ عَلَى وَالِدَيْهِ يُدْعَى إِلَى غَيْرِ أَبِيهِ وَأَنْ يَقُولَ قَدْ سَمِعْتُ وَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ

Zayd ibn al-Ḥubāb narrated to us: Muʿāwiyah ibn Ṣāliḥ narrated to us: Rabīʿah ibn Yazīd al-Dimashqī narrated to me, he said: I heard Wāthilah ibn al-Asqaʿ say: I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: 'Indeed, the greatest of fabrications are three: that a man fabricates regarding his own eyes, saying "I saw" when he did not see; that he fabricates regarding his parentage, being attributed to other than his father; and that he says "He heard me" when he did not hear.'
