Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 1609 — he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ ، قَالَ : نَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ قَالَ : نَا ابْنُ السِّمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ . عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- يَقُولُ : رَحِمَ اللهُ مَنْ سَمِعَ مِنَّا حَدِيثًا ، فَبَلَّغَهُ كَمَا سَمِعَهُ ، فَرُبَّ مُبَلَّغٍ أَوْعَى مِنْ سَامِعٍ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'May Allah have mercy on the one who hears a hadith from us and then conveys it just as he heard it; for often the one to whom it is conveyed retains (it) better than the one who heard it.'"
