وَدَلَّتِ السُّنَّةُ عَلَى نَفْيِ رِوَايَةِ الْمُنْكَرِ مِنَ الْأَخْبَارِ، كَنَحْوِ دَلَالَةِ الْقُرْآنِ عَلَى نَفْيِ خَبَرِ الْفَاسِقِ
Translation: The Sunnah likewise forbids propagating objectionable reports, paralleling the Qur’anic rejection of unreliable news.
The Qur’anic rule establishes the need to verify a compromised source; Muslim now supplies a Prophetic warning about knowingly circulating a false attribution. These are complementary evidences, not interchangeable textual statements.
