English Translation
Zayd ibn Arqam said: 'Ubaydullah ibn Ziyad sent for me, so I came to him. He said: "What are these hadiths that have reached us from you, which you narrate from the Prophet (peace be upon him) and which we cannot find in the Book of Allah? You narrate that Muhammad (peace be upon him) has a Pool (Hawd)?" I said: "He told us that and promised it to us." He said: "You have lied, but you are an old man who has become senile." I said: "Indeed, my ears heard it and my heart retained it — him saying: 'Whoever lies about me deliberately, let him take his seat in Hellfire.' So I have not lied about him."
