أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ هُوَ ابْنُ إِسْحَاق ، عَنْ مَعْبَدِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ : " يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ،إِيَّاكُمْ وَكَثْرَةَ الْحَدِيثِ عَنِّي، فَمَنْ قَالَ عَلَيَّ، فَلَا يَقُلْ إِلَّا حَقًّا أَوْ إِلَّا صِدْقًا، وَمَنْ قَالَ عَلَيَّ مَا لَمْ أَقُلْ، فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنْ النَّارِ "

Ahmad bin Khalid told us, Muhammad, who is Ibn Ishaq, told us, on the authority of Ma’abad bin Ka’b, on the authority of Abu Qatada, may God be pleased with him, he said: I heard the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, saying on the pulpit: “O people, beware of talking a lot about me. Whoever says about me, should not say Unless it is true or truthful, and whoever says against me what I did not say, let him take his seat in the Fire.”
