467. The Soundness of a Tradition and Its Agreement with the Truth

1426.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : ما جاءكُم عنّي مِن حَديثٍ مَوافِقٍ للحقِّ فأنا قُلْتُهُ ، وما أتَاكُم عنّي مِن حَديثٍ لا يُوافِقُ الحَقَّ فلَم أقُلْهُ ، ولَن أقولَ إلّا الحَقَّ .¹

1426.The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'Whenever a tradition is transmitted to you from me that agrees with the truth, then I have truly said it, and whatever tradition is transmitted to you from me which does not agree with the truth, then I have not said it, for I speak nothing but the truth.' ²
