Please verify the authenticity of this Hadith:
Allah Ta’ala said: ‘The son of Adam tells a lie against Me though he does not have the right to do so. He abuses me though he hasn’t the right to do so. As for his telling a lie against Me, it is his saying that I will not recreate him as I created him for the first time. In fact, creating the first time is not easier than recreating . As for his abusing Me, it is his saying that Allah has a child, whereas I am the One, the Self-Sufficient, I beget not nor was I begotten and there is none equal to Me”
Answer:
Imam Bukhari (rahimahullah) has recorded this narration on the authority of Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah and Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Abbas (radiyallahu ‘anhum). The Hadith is therefore authentic.
(Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 3193-4482-4974-4975)
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
