110 - Retaining and transmitting the Prophet’s hadiths

عن زيدِ بنِ ثابتٍ، قال: سمعتُ رسولَ الله ﷺ يقول: «نضَّر اللهُ امرأً سَمِعَ منَّا حديثًا، فحفِظَه حتى يُبلِّغَه؛ فرُبَّ حاملِ فِقهٍ إلى مَن هو أفقهُ منه،ورُبَّ حاملِ فِقهٍ ليس بفقيهٍ».

Zayd ibn Thābit narrated, saying: I heard God’s Messenger (peace be upon him) say: 

1. May God grant comeliness to a person who might have heard a hadith from us, and he retained it in memory until he delivered it.  

2. It may happen that someone carries real knowledge to one who is a better scholar.  

3. And it may happen that someone carries real knowledge, but he himself is not a scholar.
