Re: just wanted to share wid u all!!
you know good words can in that case be passed around as just words of wisdom and nto be attributed to the prophet. Good intentions dont always have a good outcome you know. and the bad outcome here could be that you introduce and/or promote something to a larger audiece, which is falsely attributed to the prophet, even if it makes sense to you.
I mean its a religious version of urban legend or a chain mail, you pass it on, trusting the prson who had sent it to you, and thus take part in spreading it only to find out later it was just a hoax. I suppose when the hadeeth were rejected by compilors they probably had to struggle with the same issue, common sense, cultural norms etc etc passed around but attributed to the prophet to make them seem more important or legitimate.
So, that is why, at minimum a source is helpful, because you can say its in a particular hadeeth complilation.
