698. 'Abdullāh bin Rabāh narrated that Abu Qatādah said: "They mentioned negligence because of sleeping too much, and he said: 'They slept until the sun
had risen. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "There is no negligence when one is sleeping, rather there is negligence when one is awake. If anyone of you forgets to pray, or sleeps and misses a prayer, then let him pray when he remembers, and during its time if it is the day after. (Sahih)
‘Abdullāh bin Rabāh said: "Imrān bin Husain heard me when I was narrating this Hadith and said: ‘O young man, look at how you are narrating the Hadith. I was present at the time of this Hadith with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ.’ And he did not deny anything of the Hadith."

Commentary
a. It is perfectly in order if youngsters narrate prophetic Ahādīth before the elders, since in this way their mistakes in the narration, if any, would be rectified.
b. Narration of Ahādīth demands great caution lest the listeners should construe anything (mistakenly mentioned by the narrator from outside the original) as being part of the Hadith, and start acting upon it.
