ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ هَذَا الْفَضْلِ إِنَّمَا يَكُونُ لِمَنْ أَدَّى مَا وَصَفْنَا، كَمَا سَمِعَهُ سَوَاءً، مِنْ غَيْرِ تَغْيِيرٍ وَلَا تَبْدِيلٍ فِيهِ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «رَحِمَ اللَّهُ مَنْ سَمِعَ مِنِّي حَدِيثًا فَبَلَّغَهُ كَمَا سَمِعَهُ فَرُبَّ مُبَلَّغٍ أَوْعَى لَهُ مِنْ سَامِعٍ»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "May Allah brighten the face of the individual who hears something from us and conveys it exactly as he heard it. There are times when the one who conveys something is more mindful of it than the one who hears it."
