From 4:3
Allah said,
ِ
َ « َك َفى بِالْ َم ْرء َك ِذبًا َأ ْن حُيَد
»ِّث بِ ُك ِّل َما مَسِ ع
(Narrating everything one hears is sufficient to make a person a liar.) This is the same
narration collected by Abu Dawud in the section of Adab (manners) in his Sunan. In the Two
Sahihs, it is recorded that Al-Mughirah bin Shu`bah said that the Messenger of Allah
prohibited, "It was said,'' and, "So-and-so said.'' This Hadith refers to those who often convey
the speech that people utter without investigating the reliability and truth of what he is
disclosing. The Sahih also records,
From 16:72
Among His Blessings and Signs are Mates, Children and Grandchildren
Allah mentions the blessing He has bestowed upon His servant by giving them mates from
among themselves, mates of their own kind. If He had given them mates of another kind,
there would be no harmony, love and mercy between them. But out of His mercy He has made
the Children of Adam male and female, and has made the females wives or mates for the
males. Then Allah mentions that from these wives He creates children and grandchildren,
one's children's children. This was the opinion of Ibn `Abbas, `Ikrimah, Al-Hasan, Ad-Dahhak
and Ibn Zayd. Shu`bah said, narrating from Abu Bishr from Sa`id bin Jubayr from Ibn
`Abbas: "Children and grandchildren, who are one's children and one's children's children.'' It
was also said that this means servants and helpers, or it means sons-in-law or in-laws. I say:
if we understand
to refer back to wives, then it must mean children, children's children, and )grandsons( ف

.sons-in-law, because they are the husbands of one's daughter or the children of one's wife
