Sahih al-Bukhari 1291 (Book 23, Hadith 49) #1241
Lying About the Prophet (ﷺ) and Wailing Over the Deceased

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) warned against lying about him and said that those who do so will be punished in Hell-Fire. He also mentioned that the deceased who is wailed over will be tortured for it.

Narrated Al-Mughira: I heard the Prophet saying, "Ascribing false things to me is not like ascribing false things to anyone else. Whosoever tells a lie against me intentionally then surely let him occupy his seat in Hell-Fire". I heard the Prophet saying, "The deceased who is wailed over is tortured for that wailing".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ، عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ يَقُولُ ‏"‏ إِنَّ كَذِبًا عَلَىَّ لَيْسَ كَكَذِبٍ عَلَى أَحَدٍ، مَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَىَّ مُتَعَمِّدًا فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ ‏"‏‏.‏ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ يَقُولُ ‏"‏ مَنْ نِيحَ عَلَيْهِ يُعَذَّبُ بِمَا نِيحَ عَلَيْهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
In this hadith, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ warned against lying about him and said that those who do so will be punished in Hell-Fire. He also mentioned that if someone wails over a deceased person, they too will be punished for it. This hadith teaches us to not lie about anyone, especially not about prophets or messengers of God as they are held to a higher standard than ordinary people. It also teaches us to not wail over a deceased person as this is considered disrespectful and can lead to punishment from God. We should instead remember them with love and respect by praying for them or doing good deeds on their behalf such as charity or fasting in their name.
