3597. It was narrated that Yahyā bin Rāshid said: "We sat waiting for 'Abdullāh bin 'Umar, and he came out to us and sat down, and said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: "If a person's intercession prevents one of the Hadd punishments of Allāh (from being carried out), then he has opposed Allāh. The one who argues for a false case knowingly will remain subject to the wrath of Allāh until he gives it up. If a person says something of a believer that is not true, Allāh will cause him to dwell in the mud of Khabāl[1] until he retracts what he said." (Sahih)
