أَخْبَرَنَا أحَمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَكَمِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْقَطَّانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عُمَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبَانَ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ خَرَجَ زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ مِنْ عِنْدِ مَرْوَانَ قَرِيبًا مِنْ نِصْفِ النَّهَارِ فَقُمْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «نَضَّرَ اللهُ امْرَأً سَمِعَ مِنَّا حَدِيثًا حَفِظَهُ حَتَّى يُبَلِّغَهُ غَيْرَهُ فَرُبَّ حَامِلِ فِقْهٍ إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ أَفْقَهُ مِنْهُ وَرُبَّ حَامِلِ فِقْهٍ لَيْسَ بِفَقِيهٍ»

✧ I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say: "May God brighten the face of a person who hears a hadith from us and memorizes it until he conveys it to another. For perhaps one who carries understanding conveys it to one who has more understanding than him, and perhaps one who carries understanding is not a faqih himself."
