حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «نَضَّرَ اللَّهُ امْرَأً سَمِعَ مِنَّا حَدِيثًا فَبَلَّغَهُ فَرُبَّ مُبَلَّغٍ أَحْفَظُ مِنْ سَامِعٍ»

Abdur-Rahman ibn Abdullah narrated from his father that: The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: “May Allah cause his face to shine, the man who hears a Hadith from us and conveys it, for perhaps the one to whom it is conveyed may remember it better than the one who (first) hears it.”

আব্দুর রহমান বিন আবদুল্লাহ (রহঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেনঃ যে ব্যাক্তি আমার নিকট হতে একটি হাদীস শুনে তা অন্যদের নিকট পৌঁছিয়ে দেয়, আল্লাহ তাকে সৌন্দর্যমন্ডিত করেন। কখনো শ্রোতার চেয়ে প্রচারক অধিকতর স্মৃতিধর হয়ে থাকে।

عبداللہ بن مسعود رضی اللہ عنہ کہتے ہیں کہ نبی اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: اللہ تعالیٰ اس شخص کو تروتازہ رکھے جس نے میری کوئی حدیث سنی اور اسے دوسروں تک پہنچا دیا، اس لیے کہ بہت سے وہ لوگ جنہیں حدیث پہنچائی جاتی ہے وہ سننے والوں سے زیادہ ادراک رکھنے والے ہوتے ہیں ۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad bin Basyar] dan [Muhammad bin Al Walid] keduanya berkata; telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad bin Ja'far] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Syu'bah] dari [Simak] dari [Abdurrahman bin Abdullah] dari [Bapaknya] dari Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, beliau bersabda: "Allah akan memperindah seseorang yang mendengar satu hadits dari kami kemudian menyampaikannya. Berapa banyak orang yang di sampaikan hadits kepadanya lebih hafal dari orang yang mendengarnya

Abdullah (İbni Mesud) r.a.’den Resulullah Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem’in şöyle buyurduğu rivayet edilmiştir: '' Bizden bir hadis işiterek onu tebliğ edenin yüzünü Allah ağartsın. Çünkü kendisine tebliğ edilmiş olacak olan nice adamlar, dirayet, anlayış ve gereğini yapmak bakımından hadisi işitenden daha kuvvetli olabilir

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) prayed for brightness, joy, and beauty in this world, and that Allah grants the person the radiance, bliss, and bloom of Paradise in the Hereafter for whoever hears his Hadīth and memorizes it to convey it to others. Perhaps the one to whom the Hadīth is conveyed understands it better, has deeper insight, and is more capable of deriving rulings than the one who originally transmitted it.

The first excels in memorization and transmission, while the second excels in understanding and deduction.

What it teaches

  • Encouraging the memorization of the Prophetic Sunnah and its conveyance to people.
  • Highlighting the merit of the people of Hadīth and the honor of seeking such knowledge.
  • The merit of scholars, who are the people of deduction and understanding.
  • The merit of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them), as they are the ones who heard the Hadīth of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and conveyed it to us.
  • Al-Munāwi said: He clarified here that comprehension is not a condition for the Hadīth narrator; rather, memorization is a condition. However, understanding and reflection are required from the jurist.
  • Ibn ‘Uyaynah said: No one who seeks Hadīth except that there is brightness in his face because of this Hadīth.
  • Memorization, according to the scholars of Hadīth, is of two types: memorization of the heart and mind, and memorization through writing in books and lines. Both types are included in the supplication mentioned in the Hadīth.
  • People vary in their level of understanding, for perhaps the one to whom knowledge is conveyed is better at understanding than the hearer, and perhaps the one carrying the knowledge of Fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) is not himself a jurist.
