LessonsAvoiding Unreliable Transmitters: Critical Reception of Reports and Historical ClaimsQuiz

وَحَدَّثَنِي حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حَرْمَلَةَ بْنِ عِمْرَانَ التُّجِيبِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو شُرَيْحٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ شَرَاحِيلَ بْنَ يَزِيدَ يَقُولُ: أَخْبَرَنِي مُسْلِمُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «يَكُونُ فِي آخِرِ الزَّمَانِ دَجَّالُونَ كَذَّابُونَ، يَأْتُونَكُمْ مِنَ الْأَحَادِيثِ بِمَا لَمْ تَسْمَعُوا أَنْتُمْ وَلَا آبَاؤُكُمْ، فَإِيَّاكُمْ وَإِيَّاهُمْ، لَا يُضِلُّونَكُمْ وَلَا يَفْتِنُونَكُمْ».
Translation: Ḥarmalah ibn Yaḥyā ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Ḥarmalah ibn ʿImrān al-Tujībī narrated to me: Ibn Wahb narrated to us; Abū Shurayḥ narrated to him that he heard Sharāḥīl ibn Yazīd say: Muslim ibn Yasār informed me that he heard Abū Hurayrah say: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Towards the end of time there will be impostors, inveterate liars, who bring you reports that neither you nor your fathers have heard. Beware of them and keep away from them, lest they lead you astray or put you to trial.”

“Dajjālūn kadhdhābūn” highlights deliberate deception, while “lā yuḍillūnakum wa-lā yaftinūnakum” identifies the danger to recipients. Both chains remain complete; a wording addition must be evaluated in its own transmission context.
