Does the word "Al-Ahadith" in the noble Hadith: "Towards the end of time, there will be Dajjalun (deceivers), liars, who will come to you with Ahadith (narrations/sayings) that neither you nor your forefathers have heard. So beware of them and beware of being led astray or tempted by them," refer specifically to fabricated topics and lies within religious matters, or does it include lying in speech generally? And does this apply to the superstitious claims and false statements currently widespread on the Internet and social media?
It is narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: «In the End of Times, there will be Dajjals (deceivers), liars, who will come to you with narrations (Ahadith) that neither you nor your forefathers have heard. So beware of them, and beware of them, lest they mislead you or tempt you.» It is understood from the Hadith that the intention is lying about the religion of Allah and about His Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, described these narrations as not having been transmitted from the righteous predecessors, and that they mislead and tempt, which confirms that they are fabricated and unsound narrations.
