“Technical Review of Non-Authentic Narrations”
Note:
“Narration should be suspended” means do not narrate it at all without finding an authentic chain. The chain of these narrations could not be found despite extreme search. Therefore, the requirement of care and caution regarding the Hadith of the Messenger ﷺ is that their narration should be suspended until an authentic chain is available.
The Prophet ﷺ said:
«مَنْ يَقُلْ عَلَيَّ مَا لَمْ أَقُلْ فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ»
(Sahih Bukhari: 109)
Translation:
“Whoever says about me what I have not said, let him make his abode in the Fire.”
It is proven from Mutawatir (continuously recurrent) Hadiths that the person who lies about the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is bound for Hell. Despite this, many people frequently narrate false, baseless, and fabricated narrations day and night in their speeches, writings, and general conversations.
Our common people share such narrations on social media every other day without verification.
Out of these countless false fabricated narrations, some famous narrations and incidents have been shared with you here, which even our less-educated orators often narrate, and these narrations are often seen circulating on social media.
