# Do not write anything other than Quran

<p align="right">حَدَّثَنَا هَدَّابُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الأَزْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ <strong>لاَ تَكْتُبُوا عَنِّي وَمَنْ كَتَبَ عَنِّي غَيْرَ الْقُرْآنِ فَلْيَمْحُهُ</strong> وَحَدِّثُوا عَنِّي وَلاَ حَرَجَ وَمَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَىَّ - قَالَ هَمَّامٌ أَحْسِبُهُ قَالَ - مُتَعَمِّدًا فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏</p>

Abu Sa'id Khudri reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: <mark style="color:red;">**Do not write down anything from me, and he who wrote down anything from me except the Qur'an, he should erase it and tell me**</mark> <mark style="color:red;">**and not he be blamed.**</mark> But he who attributed any falsehood to me, and Hammam said: I think he also said: "deliberately" -he should, in fact, find his abode in the Hell-Fire.

Narrated Al-Muttalib bin 'Abd Allah bin Hantab: Al-Muttalib ibn Abdullah ibn Hantab said: Zayd ibn Thabit entered upon Mu'awiyah and asked him about a tradition. He ordered a man to write it. Zayd said: <mark style="color:red;">**The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ordered us not to write any of his traditions. So he erased it.**</mark>

‘Ali said “<mark style="color:red;">**We wrote down nothing on the authority of the Apostle of Allaah(ﷺ) but the Qur’an and what this document contains.**</mark>” He reported the Apostle of Allaah(ﷺ) as saying “ Madeenah is sacred from A’ir to Thawr so if anyone produces an innovation (in it) or gives protection to an innovator the curse of Allaah, angels and all men will fall upon him and no repentance or ransom will be accepted from him. The protection granted by Muslim is one (even if) the humblest of them grants it. So if anyone breaks a covenant made by a Muslim the curse of Allaah, angels and all men will fall upon him and no repentance or ransom will be accepted from him. If anyone attributes his manumission to people without the permission of his masters the curse of Allaah, angels and all men will fall upon him and no repentance or ransom will be accepted from him.

By mistranslating the word "ayah" in this Hadith as "sentence" instead of "verse," the propagators of this mistranslation are deliberately spreading lies about the Prophet.
