Hadeeth?

[Abu Dujanah]

Assalamu' Alaikum

Ive notice many Muslims say make 70 excuses for our Brothers and Sisters, and they say this is a Hadeeth.

I also heard Muslims says its not a Hadeeth rather its a saying of they Salaf.

So who is correct on this issue?

Please when answering provide your references

Nice question JazakallahKhair

I'm pretty sure this is not a hadeeth. I think it is a saying of one of the salaf. This is the closest i could find in my books.

Hamdûn al-Qassâr said,

“If one of your brothers commits an error, then seek ninety excuses for him, and if not, then you are the blameworthy one.”

Not exactly the daeel you asked for.

So lets see if someone else could come up with it.

Well as no one else has come forward!

Do you know if its a saying of the salaf Abu Dujanah? I think i remember reading that there's no evidence for it as a hadith, but i can't remember my source.

I think the 70 excuses one is attributed to one of the Salaf, but I haven't seen anything to substantiate that either.

I also heard this but instead of 70 i heard it was 100 however i have not heard the daleel on it.. so if anyone hears about it please post it so that we can all learn
