Convey from me, even a single verse.
“Convey from me, even a single verse.”
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) commands us to convey knowledge from him, from the Qur’an or the Sunnah, even if it is something short, like a verse from the Qur’an or a Hadīth, provided that a person should have knowledge of what he conveys and invites people to it.
The plain meaning, from HadeethEnc
عن عبد الله بن عمرو رضي الله عنهما أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: «بَلِّغُوا عَنِّي وَلَوْ آيَةً، وَحَدِّثُوا عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَلَا حَرَجَ، وَمَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَيَّ مُتَعَمِّدًا فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ».
‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Convey from me even if one verse, and narrate from the Children of Israel, and there is no sin in doing that. And whoever intentionally tells a lie about me, let him occupy his seat in Hellfire."
What does Sahih al-Bukhari 3461 mean?
Narrated by ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr and recorded by al-Bukhari. The sentence has a companion clause that is rarely quoted with it, and it is a warning: whoever lies about me deliberately, let him take his seat in the Fire. The two are meant to be held together — the permission to pass on even one verse, and the condition that a person knows what he is passing on.
