عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: سمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللّهِ صَلَّى اللّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «نَضَّرَ اللّهُ امْرَءًا سَمِعَ مِنَّا شَيْئًا، فَبَلَّغَهُ كَمَا سَمِعَهُ، فَرُبَّ مُبَلَّغٍ أوْعَى مِنْ سَامِعٍ» رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَقَالَ: حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.
Ibn Masud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "May Allah brighten a man who hears something from us and conveys it just as he heard it, for perhaps one to whom it is conveyed is more retentive than the one who heard it." Reported by al-Tirmidhi, who said: a hasan sahih hadith.
