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.

Hadith Gradingتحقیق (حسین سلیم أسد الدارانی):إسناده ضعيف ولكن الحديث صحيح، [مكتبه الشامله نمبر: 234]
Hadith Takhrijاس روایت کی سند ضعیف ہے لیکن معنی صحیح ہے، جیسا کہ پچھلی حدیث کی تخریج میں گزرا۔ مزید تخریج کے لئے دیکھئے: [مسند أبي يعلی 7413] ، [ترمذي 2658] ، [ابن ماجه 232] ، [أبوداؤد 3660] و [مجمع الزوائد 598]
´It was narrated from Muhammad bin Jubair bin Mut’im that his father said:` “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood up in Khaif in Mina, and said: ‘May Allah make his face shine, the man who hears my words and conveys them. It may be that the bearer of knowledge does not understand it, and it may be that he takes it to one who will understand it more than he does. There are three things in which the heart of the believer does not betray: sincerity of action for the sake of Allah, offering sincere advice to the rulers of the Muslims, and adhering to the Jama’ah (main body of the Muslims). Their supplication is answered (i.e. encompassing every good, and all of the people).”

Benefits and Issues:
➊ The foundation of jurisprudence (fiqh) is the Prophetic hadith. Any ijtihad (independent reasoning) that is not based on the Qur’an and hadith is not reliable.
➋ Scholarly matters should be conveyed to others.
➌ One should acquire religious knowledge even from a person who, apparently, is lesser in knowledge, age, or status. Sometimes, such a person may provide an academic point that is not found even with the great scholars.
➍ There is no limit to knowledge and understanding (tafaqquh). It is possible that someone who comes later may comprehend an ijtihadi or scholarly point to which the attention of earlier great scholars was not drawn.
➎ The heart of a believer does not betray; this means that a believer strives to perform these three deeds in the best possible manner and does not fall short.
➏ The requirement of a believer’s goodwill towards another believer is that he should not pray only for himself, but also for others—whether they are friends or relatives, strangers, fellow countrymen, or residents of other regions.
➐ Whoever prays for others also receives the prayers of others. (See also Benefits and Issues: Hadith: 230)
