Trustworthiness in Narrating Stories

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that when someone narrates a story, they should be trusted.

Jabir bin Abdullah narrated that the Messenger of Allah said : "When a man narrates a narration, then he looks around, then it is a trust".
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَتِيكٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِذَا حَدَّثَ الرَّجُلُ الْحَدِيثَ ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ فَهِيَ أَمَانَةٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ وَإِنَّمَا نَعْرِفُهُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught us the importance of trustworthiness when it comes to narrating stories. He said that if someone is telling a story and looks around, then it is a trust. This means that we should take what they are saying seriously and believe them as if it were true. We should not doubt their words or question their credibility because this would be disrespectful and unkind. It also teaches us to be careful with our words and think before we speak so that we do not spread false information or rumors which can cause harm to others. Furthermore, this hadith encourages us to always tell the truth even if it may seem difficult at times because lying can have serious consequences in both this life and the hereafter.
