[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "May Allah bless a servant who hears my words and does not add anything to them. Indeed, there may be someone who understands a religious knowledge better than the one who carries it."  

الطبراني:١٧٣٥٣bحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الدِّمَشْقِيَّانِ قَالَا ثنا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ ثنا عَمْرُو بْنُ وَاقِدٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ بْنِ حَلْبَسٍ عَنْ أَبِي إِدْرِيسَ الْخَوْلَانِيِّ عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «نَضَّرَ اللهُ عَبْدًا سَمِعَ كَلَامِي ثُمَّ لَمْ يَزِدْ فِيهِ فَرُبَّ حَامِلِ فِقْهٍ إِلَى أَوْعَى 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.'"
