Among the rulings of those who argue by the implication of a hadith: (Whoever lies about me deliberately to mislead people, let him take his place in the Fire) regarding the permissibility of narrating a weak hadith for the sake of encouraging good. ?

The questioner : Some of the Shaykhs argue with a hadith narrated by Ibn Majah, saying: "Whoever lies about me deliberately to mislead people, let him take his place in the Fire." They say this applies to one who misleads people... it indicates that whoever lies about the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)... regarding people in acts of worship and obedience, is this permissible?

The Shaykh : We respond to this in two ways:
The first way: This wording is anomalous because it contradicts the transmission of the trustworthy narrators.
The second way: The lam here is not for causation, but for the consequence, as Allah the Exalted said: The meaning is that whoever lies about the Messenger deliberately, the result is that he misleads people. But as we told you before: regarding a matter whose virtue is established, the soul hopes. One says: We hope that this is true. If it is true, the desired outcome is achieved. If it is not, it only increases a person's desire for what has established virtue and encouragement in it, and this is sound.
