English translation

1972. Ibn ‘Umar narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: “When the slave (of Allāh) lies, the angel goes a mile away from him because of the stench of what he has done.” Yahya said: “(I asked) ‘Abdur-Raḥīm bin Hārūn if he approved of it, and he said ‘Yes’.”[1] (Da’if) [Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan [Jayyid] Gharīb, we do not know of it except from this route. ‘Abdur-Raḥīm bin Hārūn is alone in narrating it.

Arabic text

١٩٧٢ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌يَحْيَى بْنُ مُوسَى قَالَ: قُلْتُ ‌لِعَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ بْنِ هَارُونَ الْغَسَّانِيِّ: حَدَّثَكُمْ ‌عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبِي رَوَّادٍ ، عَنْ ‌نَافِعٍ ، عَنِ ‌ابْنِ عُمَرَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِذَا كَذَبَ الْعَبْدُ تَبَاعَدَ عَنْهُ الْمَلَكُ مِيلًا» مِنْ نَتْنِ مَا جَاءَ بِهِ. قَالَ يَحْيَى: فَأَقَرَّ بِهِ عَبْدُ الرَّحِيمِ بْنُ هَارُونَ، فَقَالَ: نَعَمْ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ. لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ عَبْدُ الرَّحِيمِ بْنُ هَارُونَ.

  1. 1

    [1] Meaning, Yahyā recited it to ‘Abdur-Raḥīm, on his authority, that he heard it from ‘Abdul-‘Azīz... and ‘Abdur-Raḥīm said yes, meaning it was narrated to me like that.

Commentary

Just as the things of the world have good and bad smell, good and bad actions and words also have good and bad smell that the angels of heaven sense, much as we sense the good and foul smell of material things and objects.
