‘We do not see the righteous more false in anything than they are regarding Ḥadīth’.
Ibn Abī Attāb said: ‘So Muhammad bin Yahyā bin Sa’īd al-Qattān and I met and I asked him about it and he said on authority of his father: ‘You will not see the people of good (Ahl ul-Khayr) more false in anything than they are regarding Ḥadīth.’ Muslim said: ‘He was saying that falsehood flows upon their tongues although they do not intend to lie’.
“A man passed by
the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and the Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘What do
you
say about this man?’ They said: ‘We agree with your opinion
concerning
him. We say: He is one of the noblest of people. If he
proposes
marriage, his proposal deserves to be accepted; and if he
intercedes,
his intercession deserves to be accepted; and if he
speaks, he
deserves to be listened to.’ The Prophet (ﷺ) remained
silent, and
another man passed by. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘What do
you think
about this man?’ We said: ‘By Allah, O Messenger of
Allah, this is one
of the poor Muslims. If he proposes marriage, he
does not deserve to
get married; and if he intercedes, his
intercession does not deserve
to be accepted; and if he speaks, he
does not deserve to be listened
to.’ The Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘This
one is better than an earthful of
(men like) the other man.’”
