His (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam's) Saying, "May Allah Make Pleasant The Man Who Heard A Hadeeth From Us And Then Conveyed It"
From Zaid bin Thaabit who said that Allaah's Messenger (salallaahu alaihi wasallam) said, "May Allaah make pleasant (i.e. illuminate, brighten) the man who heard a hadeeth from us, memorised it and then conveyed it (to others) just as he heard it, for perhaps one who carries fiqh (knowledge, understanding) is not one who understands it, and perhaps he carries it to one who has greater understanding than him."
From Muhammad bin Jubair bin Mut'am from his father who said that Allaah's Messenger (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) stood amongst us in Mina and said, "May Allaah make pleasant the servant who heard my saying, then memorised it, and then conveyed it to one who did not hear it, for perhaps one who carries fiqh (knowledge, understanding) does not understand it, and perhaps he carries it to one who has more understanding than him."
From Abdullaah bin Mas'ood who said that Allaah's Messenger (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) said, "May Allaah make pleasant the one who heard my saying, then memorised it, for perhaps one who carries fiqh (knowledge, understanding) does not understand it, and perhaps he carries it to one who is more understanding than him.
