This is part of The Introduction (the first book) of Sa h ih Muslim.

=Content=

وَهُوَ الْأَثَرُ الْمَشْهُورُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ

(And it's a famous Athar (=trail/vestige) from the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him)

مَنْ حَدَّثَ عَنِّي بِحَدِيثٍ يُرَى أَنَّهُ كَذِبٌ

("Whoever narrates on me with a narration and sees that it's a lie...)

فَهُوَ أَحَدُ الْكَاذِبِينَ

(...then he himself is a liar")

=Chain of Narrator=

From Muslim to the Messenger of Allah:


 * 1) Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah
 * 2) Waki'
 * 3) Shu'bah
 * 4) Al Hakam
 * 5) Abdur Rahman ibn Abi Laila
 * 6) Samurah ibn Jundab

Second chain, from Muslim to the Messenger of Allah:


 * 1) Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah
 * 2) Waki'
 * 3) Shu'bah and Sufyan
 * 4) Habib
 * 5) Maimun ibn Abi Shabib
 * 6) Al Mugirah ibn Shu'bah

=Authenticity=

Habib, on the second chain, is accused as weak narrator only by Ibn Ma'in. Nonetheless, the first chain of narrators are all in good withstanding, thus this narration is considered Sa h ih (authentic).
