Musnad Ahmad 1127 (Book 5, Hadith 543) #34769
Avoiding False Attribution of Hadith

SUMMARY: It is better to avoid attributing something to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) that he did not say, even if it means facing a difficult situation.

It was narrated from 'Awn bin Abi Juhaifah that his father said: 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) said: If I narrate to you a hadeeth from the Messenger of Allah , then being thrown from heaven to earth is dearer to me than attributing to the Messenger of Allah something that he did not say However, war is deceit.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَوْنِ بْنِ أَبِي جُحَيْفَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ إِذَا حَدَّثْتُكُمْ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ حَدِيثًا فَلَأَنْ أَقَعَ مِنْ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَقُولَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ مَا لَمْ يَقُلْ وَلَكِنَّ الْحَرْبَ خَدْعَةٌ‏.‏
