Musnad Ahmed: Hadith 173

2. Musnad Umar ibn Khattab

مسند احمد

173
Musnad Ahmed
Sahih because of corroborating evidence; this isnad is da'eef, because of the weakness of Dujain bin Thabit
Dujain Abul-Ghusn, who was from Basrah, said:
I came to Madinah and met Aslam, the freed slave of "Umar bin al-Khattab. I said. Tell me(a report)from "Umar. He said: I cannot, I am afraid that I will add or subtract something. If we said to ‘Umar, Tell us something from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), he would say: I am afraid that I may add or subtract a letter. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Whoever tells a lie about me will be in Hell."
