The Importance of Verifying the Transmission of Stories and Hadiths

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence, the father, the questioner says: There is a message sent via mobile phone, attributed to one of the Companions, in which he said: "Glory be to Allah, [equal to] the number of what was, the number of what will be, the number of the movements, and the number of the stillness." He says these words were said by the Companion in one year, and then he said them again in another year. He then saw one of the angels in a dream saying, "We have not finished counting your glorification from last year." He asks: What is the authenticity of this narration? And what is your guidance regarding the transmission of such messages on mobile phones?

Answer:
One does not rely on transmission, neither on mobile phones, nor in pamphlets, nor even in books. It is not accepted unless the source from which this statement was transmitted is mentioned. It is necessary that the source from which this statement was transmitted be mentioned so that it can be reviewed and verified, and to ensure that nothing has been altered in it or inserted into it. As for if it is merely a statement, it is never accepted. Yes.
