حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ هَاشِمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ " مَنْ حَدَّثَ عَنِّي حَدِيثًا وَهُوَ يُرَى أَنَّهُ كَذِبٌ فَهُوَ أَحَدُ الْكَاذِبَيْنِ " .

Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah narrated to us: Ali ibn Hashim narrated to us, from Ibn Abi Layla, from al-Hakam, from Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Layla, from Ali, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said: Whoever narrates a report from me while thinking it is false is one of the two liars.

The Arabic says the narrator who transmits a report while believing it to be false is one of the two liars. The English witness adds an explanation about the inventor and repeater; that gloss is not stated in the Arabic and is omitted.
