Hadith: Whoever tells a lie about me intentionally, let him take his seat in Hellfire
عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم:
«مَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَيَّ مُتَعَمِّدًا فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ».
[صحيح] - [متفق عليه] - [صحيح البخاري: 110]

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"Whoever tells a lie about me intentionally, let him take his seat in Hellfire."
[Authentic hadith] - [Narrated by Bukhari & Muslim] - [Sahih Bukhari - 110]
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) clarified that whoever deliberately tells a lie about him, by falsely attributing a statement or action to him, will have a seat in Hellfire in the Hereafter as a recompense for lying about him.
Benefits from the Hadith
- Telling lies about the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) deliberately and intentionally is a means of entering Hellfire.
- Telling a lie about the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) is not like telling a lie about all other people because the former leads to serious evils in terms of religious and worldly affairs.
- Warning against spreading Hadīths before verifying them and making sure of their authentic attribution to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him).
