Verify information before transmitting

This hadith emphasizes the importance of verifying information before transmitting it. It is narrated by Rabi'ah through the chain of Abu Mus'ab and to the same effect. Sulaiman asked Suhail about this tradition and he said he did not know it. However, when Sulaiman told him that Rabi'ah transmitted it to him from Suhail himself, Suhail said that if Rabi’ah transmitted it to him from him then retransmit it from Rabi’ah on his authority. This hadith teaches us that we should always verify information before passing on any knowledge or news as we are responsible for what we transmit and must ensure its accuracy.
