<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br> 1) We are exhorted to convey useful knowledge to others, even if it were little. He upon whom Allah bestows knowledge that is based on divine revelation should spread it among people, for this is charity on his part.<br> 2) It gives a stern warning against fabricating lies about the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) by narrating false Hadiths, even if their meanings are correct. In fact, authentic Hadiths are sufficient for us and leave us in no need for inauthentic and fabricated ones.<br> Note:<br> Many papers circulate widely among Muslims, containing fabricated Hadiths and reports about the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him). One of those papers is about the punishment for abandonment of prayer, mentioning that a person who abandons prayer will be punished by five things in worldly life, five in the grave, and five on the Day of Resurrection. We should be cautious about such papers and raise awareness about them. In fact, it is not permissible to preach people by fabricated lies about the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him). Whoever does so intentionally is threatened with punishment in Hellfire. The wisdom and guidance authentically reported in the Sunnah are quite sufficient for us and leave us in no need for fabricated Hadiths or vain inclinations.<br> <br> <br> <br> <b>Words in the Hadith:</b><br> The Children of Israel are the Jews and Christians, also called the people of the Book.
