وَحَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ خُبَيْبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «كَفَى بِالْمَرْءِ كَذِبًا أَنْ يُحَدِّثَ بِكُلِّ مَا سَمِعَ».
Translation: ʿUbayd Allāh b. Muʿādh transmitted through his father; Muḥammad b. al-Muthannā through ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Mahdī; both from Shuʿbah, then Khubayb b. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān and Ḥafṣ b. ʿĀṣim, who said the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stated: It is enough falsehood for a person to recount everything he hears.
“Kafā ... kadhiban” expresses the sufficiency of this conduct for incurring false reporting. It does not imply that every individual statement was knowingly invented: indiscriminate retelling predictably transmits false material. Here Ḥafṣ attributes the saying directly to the Prophet without naming a Companion; the next route clarifies that difference.
