Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the degree of authenticity of the hadith narrated by Muslim?
Answer:
It is an authentic hadith narrated by Muslim and others. It mentions the *mutanatti'un* (exaggerators); the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said three things about them. *Tantanni'* means speaking, delving deeply into matters, and innovating. This is part of the evidence of the people of the Sunnah in refuting religious innovations, because they involve exaggeration and self-imposed burden. The *mutanatti'* is the one who imposes burdens on himself and delves too deeply, asking about things and doing things that Allah has not prescribed.
