The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah said: 'The son of Adam tells a lie against Me,, though he hasn't the right to
do so. He abuses me though he hasn't the right to do so. As for his telling a lie against Me, it is his
saying that I will not recreate him as I created him for the first time. In fact, the first creation was not
easier for Me than new creation. As for his abusing Me, it is his saying that Allah has begotten
children, while I am the One, the Self-Sufficient Master Whom all creatures need, I beget not, nor was
I begotten, and there is none like unto Me."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Allah said:-- 'The son of Adam tells a lie against Me and he hasn't the right to
do so; and he abuses me and he hasn't the right to do so. His telling a lie against Me is his saying that I
will not recreate him as I created him for the first time; and his abusing Me is his saying that Allah has
begotten children, while I am the self-sufficient Master, Whom all creatures need, Who begets not nor
was He begotten, and there is none like unto Me."
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah said, 'The son of Adam tells a lie against me though he has no right to do so,
and he abuses Me though he has no right to do so. As for his telling a lie against Me, it is that he
claims that I cannot recreate him as I created him before; and as for his abusing Me, it is his statement
that I have offspring. No! Glorified be Me! I am far from taking a wife or offspring.' "
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Verily, one of the worst lies is to claim falsely to be the son of someone other
than one's real father, or to claim to have had a dream one has not had, or to attribute to me what I
have not said."
‘Beware of al-Mughīrah bin Sa’īd and Abū Abd ar-Rahīm for they are both liars’.
