Sahih Muslim 61 (Book 1, Hadith 123) #7388
False Claims and Labeling Unbelief

SUMMARY: Making false claims and labeling someone with unbelief or calling them the enemy of Allah is not allowed and will have consequences.

It is reported on the authority of Abu Dharr that he heard the Messenger of Allah (may peace and blessings be upon him) saying: No person who claimed knowingly anyone else as his father besides (his own) committed nothing but infidelity, and he who made a claim of anything, which (in fact) did not belong to him, is not amongst us; he should make his abode in Fire, and he who labeled anyone with unbelief or called him the enemy of Allah, and he was in fact not so, it rebounded on him.
وَحَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ الْمُعَلِّمُ، عَنِ ابْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ يَعْمَرَ، أَنَّ أَبَا الأَسْوَدِ، حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ لَيْسَ مِنْ رَجُلٍ ادَّعَى لِغَيْرِ أَبِيهِ وَهُوَ يَعْلَمُهُ إِلاَّ كَفَرَ وَمَنِ ادَّعَى مَا لَيْسَ لَهُ فَلَيْسَ مِنَّا وَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ وَمَنْ دَعَا رَجُلاً بِالْكُفْرِ أَوْ قَالَ عَدُوَّ اللَّهِ ‏.‏ وَلَيْسَ كَذَلِكَ إِلاَّ حَارَ عَلَيْهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about making false claims or labeling someone with unbelief or calling them the enemy of Allah, which are all forbidden in Islam. It warns that if a person does any of these things, they will face consequences for their actions. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught that no one should make a claim that isn't true, as it is considered to be an act of infidelity. He also warned against labeling anyone with unbelief or calling them the enemy of Allah when they are not, as this could lead to serious repercussions for those who do so. This hadith teaches us to be careful about what we say and how we speak about others, as our words can have serious implications on our lives and on those around us.
