Muhammad bin Jubair bin Mut'im narrated from his father that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) stood at Mina near the place of Khayf and said: "May Allah keep fresh the person who hears my words and preserves them, then conveys them to those who did not hear. Many carriers of jurisprudence and hadith are not themselves jurists, and many carriers of jurisprudence and hadith convey it to someone who is more learned than themselves." There are three things regarding which the heart of a believer will not betray (or will not hold malice): making deeds sincere for Allah, obeying the rulers and leaders, and adhering to the community (jama'ah); their supplication encompasses them.

Abdur Rahman bin Aban bin Uthman narrated from his father Aban that Sayyiduna Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) came out from Marwan bin Al-Hakam at midday. I said that his coming out from Marwan at this time means that Marwan has asked him about something. So I went to Zaid and inquired from him, and he said: Yes, Marwan asked me about the hadith which I heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace be upon him) said:“May Allah keep fresh the person who hears a hadith from us and memorizes it and conveys it to one who is more mindful of it than himself, for sometimes the bearer of fiqh is not a faqih, and sometimes the bearer of fiqh conveys it to one who is more mindful of it than himself. Any Muslim whose heart holds fast to three qualities will enter Paradise.”Aban said: I asked, what are those three qualities? He replied:“To make one’s deeds sincere for Allah, to wish well for the Muslim rulers, and to remain attached to the congregation of Muslims, for the supplication of the Muslims encompasses them from behind. And whoever’s intention is for the Hereafter, Allah makes his heart content and gathers his scattered affairs, and the world comes to him willingly. And whoever’s intention is for the world, Allah scatters his affairs and places poverty between his eyes, and he gets nothing from the world except what has been decreed for him.”Aban said: I asked you which is the middle prayer (Salat al-Wusta), so he replied: The Zuhr prayer.

Sayyiduna Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) delivered a sermon before us and said:“May Allah keep fresh the person who hears a hadith from us and conveys it exactly as he heard it (to others), because sometimes the one to whom the hadith is conveyed remembers it better than the one who heard it. There are three things regarding which the heart of a Muslim does not betray: making deeds sincere for Allah, wishing well for every Muslim, and adhering to the community of Muslims, for their prayers encompass them from behind.”
