from his father who said: "Zaid bin Thabit left to go to Marwan during the middle of the day. We said: 'He did not send for him [during] this hour except to ask him about something.' So we got up to ask him, and he said: 'Yes, he asked us about something we heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: "May Allah gladden a man who hears a Hadith from us, so he memorizes it until he conveys it to someone else. Perhaps he carries Fiqh to one who is more understanding than him, and perhaps the one who carries the Fiqh is not a Faqih."

خَرَجَ زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ مِنْ عِنْدِ مَرْوَانَ نِصْفَ النَّهَارِ قُلْنَا مَا بَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ فِي هَذِهِ السَّاعَةِ إِلاَّ لِشَيْءٍ سَأَلَهُ عَنْهُ فَقُمْنَا فَسَأَلْنَاهُ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ سَأَلَنَا عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ سَمِعْنَاهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ نَضَّرَ اللَّهُ امْرَأً سَمِعَ مِنَّا حَدِيثًا فَحَفِظَهُ حَتَّى يُبَلِّغَهُ غَيْرَهُ فَرُبَّ حَامِلِ فِقْهٍ إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ أَفْقَهُ مِنْهُ وَرُبَّ حَامِلِ فِقْهٍ لَيْسَ بِفَقِيهٍ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَمُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ وَجُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ وَأَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ وَأَنَسٍ

"The Messenger of Allah said: 'May Allah cause to flourish a slave (of His) who hears my words and understands them, then he conveys them from me. There are those who have knowledge but no understanding, and there may be those who convey knowledge to those who may have more understanding of it than they do.'"

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَضَّرَ اللَّهُ عَبْدًا سَمِعَ مَقَالَتِي فَوَعَاهَا ثُمَّ بَلَّغَهَا عَنِّي فَرُبَّ حَامِلِ فِقْهٍ غَيْرِ فَقِيهٍ وَرُبَّ حَامِلِ فِقْهٍ إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ أَفْقَهُ مِنْهُ

"The Messenger of Allah said: 'May Allah cause to flourish a slave (of His) who hears my words and understands them, then he conveys them from me. There are those who have knowledge but no understanding, and there may be those who convey knowledge to those who may have more understanding of it than they do.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 236)

قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِالْخَيْفِ مِنْ مِنًى فَقَالَ «نَضَّرَ اللَّهُ عَبْدًا سَمِعَ مَقَالَتِي فَوَعَاهَا ثُمَّ أَدَّاهَا إِلَى مَنْ لَمْ يَسْمَعْهَا فَرُبَّ حَامِلِ فِقْهٍ لَا فِقْهَ لَهُ وَرُبَّ حَامِلِ فِقْهٍ إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ أَفْقَهُ مِنْهُ»

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up in Khaif in Mina, and said: ‘May Allah make his face shine, the man who hears my words and conveys them. It may be that the bearer of knowledge does not understand it, and it may be that he takes it to one who will understand it more than he does. There are three things in which the heart of the believer does not betray: sincerity of action for the sake of Allah, offering sincere advice to the rulers of the Muslims, and adhering to the Jama’ah (main body of the Muslims). Their supplication is answered (i.e. encompassing every good, and all of the people).” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3056)

عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ سَمِعْنَاهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ «رَحِمَ اللَّهُ امْرَأً سَمِعَ مِنِّي حَدِيثًا فَحَفِظَهُ حَتَّى يُبَلِّغَهُ غَيْرَهُ فَرُبَّ حَامِلِ فِقْهٍ إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ أَفْقَهُ مِنْهُ وَرُبَّ حَامِلِ فِقْهٍ لَيْسَ بِفَقِيهٍ ثَلَاثُ خِصَالٍ لَا يَغِلُّ عَلَيْهِنَّ قَلْبُ مُسْلِمٍ إِخْلَاصُ الْعَمَلِ لِلَّهِ وَمُنَاصَحَةُ أُلَاةِ الْأَمْرِ وَلُزُومُ الْجَمَاعَةِ فَإِنَّ دَعْوَتَهُمْ تُحِيطُ مِنْ وَرَائِهِمْ»

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "May Allah brighten the face of a person who hears a tradition from us and memorizes it, then conveys it to others. There are often those who understand jurisprudence but are not jurists."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «نَضَّرَ اللهُ امْرَأً سَمِعَ مِنَّا حَدِيثًا فَحَفِظَهُ فَبَلَّغَهُ فَرُبَّ حَامِلِ فِقْهٍ لَيْسَ بِفَقِيهٍ»

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, he said, "May Allah brighten the face of a person who hears a statement from us, memorizes it, and conveys it to others. Perhaps the one who carries knowledge is not himself a scholar."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «نَضَّرَ اللهُ امْرَأً سَمِعَ مِنَّا حَدِيثًا فَحَفِظَهُ فَبَلَّغَهُ فَرُبَّ حَامِلِ فِقْهٍ لَيْسَ بِفَقِيهٍ»

"The Messenger of Allah said: 'May Allah cause to flourish a slave (of His) who hears my words and understands them, then he conveys them from me. There are those who have knowledge but no understanding, and there may be those who convey knowledge to those who may have more understanding of it than they do.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 236)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «رَحِمَ اللهُ امْرَأً سَمِعَ مَقَالَتِي فَبَلَّغَهَا فَرُبَّ حَامِلِ فِقْهٍ غَيْرِ فَقِيهٍ وَرَبَّ حَامِلِ فِقْهٍ إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ أَفْقَهُ مِنْهُ»

"The Messenger of Allah said: 'May Allah cause to flourish a slave (of His) who hears my words and understands them, then he conveys them from me. There are those who have knowledge but no understanding, and there may be those who convey knowledge to those who may have more understanding of it than they do.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 236)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «نَضَّرَ اللهُ عَبْدًا سَمِعَ مَقَالَتِي فَحَمَلَهَا إِلَى غَيْرِهِ فَرُبَّ حَامِلِ فِقْهٍ إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ أَفْقَهُ مِنْهُ وَرَبَّ حَامِلِ فِقْهٍ لَيْسَ بِفَقِيهٍ»

"The Messenger of Allah said: 'May Allah cause to flourish a slave (of His) who hears my words and understands them, then he conveys them from me. There are those who have knowledge but no understanding, and there may be those who convey knowledge to those who may have more understanding of it than they do.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 236)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «نَضَّرَ اللهُ عَبْدًا سَمِعَ مَقَالَتِي فَحَمَلَهَا إِلَى غَيْرِهِ فَرُبَّ حَامِلِ فِقْهٍ إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ أَفْقَهُ مِنْهُ وَرَبَّ حَامِلِ فِقْهٍ لَيْسَ بِفَقِيهٍ»

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «رَحِمَ اللهُ عَبْدًا سَمِعَ مَقَالَتِي فَحَفِظَها فَرُبَّ حَامِلِ فِقْهٍ غَيْرُ فَقِيهٍ وَرَبُّ حَامِلِ فِقْهٍ إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ أَفْقَهُ مِنْهُ»

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «رَحِمَ اللهُ عَبْدًا سَمِعَ مَقَالَتِي فَحَفِظَها فَرُبَّ حَامِلِ فِقْهٍ غَيْرُ فَقِيهٍ وَرَبُّ حَامِلِ فِقْهٍ إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ أَفْقَهُ مِنْهُ»

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ addressed them and said, "May Allah bless a person who hears my speech and understands it. There are those who carry knowledge, but have no understanding of it, and there are those who carry knowledge and pass it on to those who have more understanding than them."

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ خَطَبَهُمْ فَقَالَ «نَضَّرَ اللهُ امْرَأً سَمِعَ مَقَالَتِي فَوَعَاهَا فَرُبَّ حَامِلِ فِقْهٍ لَا فِقْهَ لَهُ وَرَبَّ حَامِلِ فِقْهٍ إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ أفْقَهُ مِنْهُ»

I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: May Allah brighten a man who hears a tradition from us, gets it by heart and passes it on to others. Many a bearer of knowledge conveys it to one who is more versed than he is; and many a bearer of knowledge is not versed in it. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3660)

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «نَضَّرَ اللهُ امْرَأً سَمِعَ مِنَّا حَدِيثًا حَفِظَهُ حَتَّى يُبَلِّغَهُ غَيْرَهُ فَرُبَّ حَامِلِ فِقْهٍ إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ أَفْقَهُ مِنْهُ وَرُبَّ حَامِلِ فِقْهٍ لَيْسَ بِفَقِيهٍ»

عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ سَمِعْتُهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ؛ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ نَضَّرَ اللَّهُ امْرَأً سَمِعَ مِنَّا حَدِيثًا فَحَفِظَهُ حَتَّى يُبَلِّغَهُ غَيْرَهُ؛ فَإِنَّهُ رُبَّ حَامِلِ فِقْهٍ لَيْسَ بِفَقِيهٍ وَرُبَّ حَامِلِ فِقْهٍ إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ أَفْقَهُ مِنْهُ ثَلَاثُ خِصَالٍ لَا يُغِلُّ عَلَيْهِنَّ قَلْبُ مُسْلِمٍ أَبَدًا إِخْلَاصُ الْعَمَلِ لِلَّهِ ﷻ وَمُنَاصَحَةُ وُلَاةِ الْأَمْرِ وَلُزُومُ الْجَمَاعَةِ؛ فَإِنَّ دَعْوَتَهُمْ تُحُيطُ مِنْ وَرَائِهِمْ

"رَحِم اللَّهُ امْرءًا سَمِعَ مِنِّى حَديثًا، فَحَفِظَهُ حَتَّى يُبَلِّغَهُ غَيْرَهُ، فَرُبَّ حَامِلِ فقْه إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ أَفْقَهُ منْهُ، ورُبَّ حامِلِ فِقْه لَيْسَ بِفَقِيهٍ ثَلَاثُ خِصَال لَا يُغلُّ عَلَيْهِنَّ قَلبُ مُسلِمٍ، إِخْلَاصُ الْعَمَلَ للَّهِ، ومُناصَحَةُ وَلاةِ الأَمْر، وَلزُومُ الْجَمَاعَةِ؛ فَإِنَّ دَعْوَتَهُمْ تحيط مِنْ وَرَائِهِمْ".

"نَضَّرَ الله امرأً سَمِعَ مِنَّا حَدِيثًا فَحَفِظَهُ حَتَّى يُبَلِّغَهُ غَيرَهُ، فَرُبَّ حَامِلِ فِقْهٍ إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ أَفْقَهُ مِنْهُ، وَرُبَّ حَامِلِ فِقْهٍ لَيسَ بِفَقِيهٍ".

"نَضَّرَ الله عَبْدًا سَمِعَ مَقَالتِي فَوعَاهَا، ثُمَّ بَلَّغها عَنِّي، فَرُبَّ حَامِلِ فِقْهٍ غَير فَقِيهٍ، وربَّ حَامِلِ فِقْه إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ أَفْقَهُ مِنْهُ".
