حديث زيد بن أرقم

Hadith 771:4

Yazid ibn Hayyan said: Zayd ibn Arqam narrated to us in that gathering of his, he said: Ubayd Allah ibn Ziyad sent for me, so I came to him and he said: "What are these hadiths that you narrate and report from the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) that we do not find in the Book of Allah, the Almighty and Majestic? You narrate that he has a Basin (Hawd) in Paradise?" He said: "The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) narrated it to us, and we were promised it." He said: "You have lied, but you are an old man who has become senile." He said: "My ears have heard it, and my heart has retained it from the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) saying: 'Whoever lies about me intentionally, let him take his seat in Hell.' And I have not lied about the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace)." And Zayd narrated to us in his gathering, he said: "Indeed, the man among the people of the Fire will be made so large for the Fire that one of his molars will be like Uhud."

قال يزيد بن حيان: حدثنا زيد بن أرقم في مجلسه ذلك، قال: بعث إلي عبيد الله بن زياد، فأتيته فقال: ما أحاديث تحدثها وترويها عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لا نجدها في كتاب الله عز وجل؟ تحدث أن له حوضا في الجنة قال: قد حدثناه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ووعدناه. قال: كذبت ولكنك شيخ قد خرفت. قال: إني قد سمعته أذناي، ووعاه قلبي من رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول: " من كذب علي متعمدا، فليتبوأ مقعده من جهنم " وما كذبت على رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " وحدثنا زيد، في مجلسه قال: " إن الرجل من أهل النار ليعظم للنار حتى يكون الضرس من أضراسه كأحد "
