Aban bin Uthman (may Allah have mercy on him) says: Sayyiduna Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) came out from Marwan around midday. We said: He must have called him at this time to ask about something. So I got up and went to him and asked him about this. Sayyiduna Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Yes, he asked me about such things that I had heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "May Allah keep fresh and flourishing the person who hears a hadith from us, then remembers it, until he conveys it to others. Not all carriers of fiqh are themselves jurists, and many carriers of fiqh convey it to someone more learned than themselves. If three things are present, a Muslim's heart does not betray: first, to act sincerely for Allah Almighty; second, to have goodwill for the rulers; and third, to adhere to the community, for the supplication of the believers encompasses them from behind." Also, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever's concern and worry is the Hereafter, Allah gathers his affairs for him and places richness in his heart, and the world comes to him humbled. But whoever's intention and resolve is only for the world, Allah increases his distractions and places poverty before his eyes, and he only gets from the world what is written for him in his destiny." He (Marwan) asked us about the middle prayer; the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is Zuhr (noon prayer)."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jubair bin Mut’im (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood in the valley of Khayf in Mina and said:“May Allah keep fresh and flourishing that servant who heard my words, then remembered them and conveyed them to the one who had not heard them. For many carriers of jurisprudence (fiqh) are such that they themselves do not possess understanding, and many carriers of jurisprudence convey it to those who are more understanding than themselves. If these three things are present, the heart of a believer does not betray: sincerity in action, goodwill towards the rulers, and adhering to the congregation. Indeed, their supplication is behind him.”

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "May Allah keep fresh the one who hears a hadith from us, then memorizes it, until he conveys it to others. Many are those to whom the hadith is conveyed who remember it better than those who heard it."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You listen, and you will be listened to, and those who listen from you, they too will be listened to."
