Sunan Abi Dawud 4992 (Book 43, Hadith 220) #25283
The Dangers of Falsehood

SUMMARY: It is wrong to spread false information and one should only relate what they have heard.

Narrated AbuHurayrah: The Prophet said: It is enough falsehood for a man to relate everything he hears. Abu Dawud said: Hafs did not mention Abu Hurairah (in his version). Abu Dawud said: No other transmitter except this old man, that is, 'Ali b. Hafs al-Mada'ini related the perfect chain of this tradition.
حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حَفْصٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ خُبَيْبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ، - قَالَ ابْنُ حُسَيْنٍ فِي حَدِيثِهِ - عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ كَفَى بِالْمَرْءِ إِثْمًا أَنْ يُحَدِّثَ بِكُلِّ مَا سَمِعَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ حَفْصٌ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَلَمْ يُسْنِدْهُ إِلاَّ هَذَا الشَّيْخُ يَعْنِي عَلِيَّ بْنَ حَفْصٍ الْمَدَائِنِيَّ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith warns us against the dangers of spreading false information. It is important to be careful about what we say and only speak about things that we have heard or seen ourselves. We should not pass on rumors or stories that are not true as this can lead to confusion and misunderstanding among people. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ also taught us that it is better to remain silent than to speak something which may be untrue or hurtful towards others. This hadith encourages us to think before we speak and make sure that whatever we say is true and beneficial for everyone involved.
