3056. It was narrated from Muhammad bin Jubair bin Mut'im that his father said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ stood up in Khaif in Mina, and said: 'May Allâh 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 Allâh, offering sincere advice to the rulers of the Muslims, and adhering to the Jamâ'ah (main body of the Muslims). Their supplication is answered (i.e. encompassing every good, and all of the people).'" (Hasan)

Commentary
a. The basis of Islamic jurisprudence is the Hadith of the Prophet ﷺ. Any Ijtihâd (reasoning) that is not based on the Qur'an and Hadith is not reliable.
b. Religious matters should be preached to others.
c. Religious knowledge should also be learned from the one who seems less significant in his knowledge, status and age. Sometimes such a person may have some noteworthy points which are missed by great scholars.
d. Knowledge and Fiqh (understanding) do not have any limits. It is quite possible that some successors may understand the deep and Ijtihâdi matters to which the great predecessor did not pay attention.
