Before quoting a hadith in a lesson, sermon, or online post, one should have a sound basis for attributing its words to the Prophet ﷺ. A moving quotation is not a hadith merely because it circulates widely.
Example 1: If a post says “The Prophet said” without a reliable attribution, do not confidently forward it as hadith.
Example 2: When summarizing a report in your own words, distinguish explanation from the Arabic wording itself.
Example 3: If a mistaken word or attribution is discovered, correct it and notify those who received the error where practicable.
مُتَعَمِّدًا specifies deliberate falsehood in the severe warning, but care in transmitting knowledge remains necessary in all cases.
