According to Wathila b. al-Asqaʿ (ra), the Messenger of Allah (saw) said, “Verily, one of the worst lies is to claim falsely to be the son of someone other than one’s real father, or to claim to have had a dream one has not had, or to attribute to Messenger of Allah (saw) what he has not said.” (al-Bukhari, al-Manaqib, 5)
