Hadith #454
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ رَبِيعَةَ قَالَ شَهِدْتُ الْمُغِيرَةَ بْنَ شُعْبَةَ خَرَجَ يَوْمًا فَرَقِيَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ
وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا بَالُ هَذَا النَّوْحِ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ وَكَانَ مَاتَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ فَنِيحَ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ كَذِبًا عَلَيَّ لَيْسَ كَكَذِبٍ عَلَى أَحَدٍ فَمَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَيَّ مُتَعَمِّدًا فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنْ النَّارِ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنَّهُ مَنْ نِيحَ عَلَيْهِ يُعَذَّبْ بِمَا نِيحَ عَلَيْهِ

English Translation
Yaḥyā ibn Saʿīd narrated to us, from Saʿīd ibn ʿUbayd who said: I heard ʿAlī ibn Rabīʿah say: I witnessed al-Mughīrah ibn Shuʿbah when he came out one day and ascended the minbar. He praised Allah and glorified Him, then said: 'What is this wailing in Islam?' A man from the Anṣār had died and was being wailed over. He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'Lying about me is not like lying about anyone else. Whoever lies about me deliberately, let him take his seat in the Fire.' I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'Whoever is wailed over shall be punished for what is wailed over him.'
