How is the reconciliation between the report from Abu Dawud and the report from Abu Hurayrah regarding the transmission of the hadith?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : 'Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said that he placed the sword on him, saying, "I will not release what I heard, and the Messenger is better for you. So how can I throw stones between him and the statement of Abu Hurayrah: 'Did you not convey the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and clarify it with it?'"

Answer : Yes. The reconciliation between them is that he (may Allah be pleased with him) says, "I will carry out what I heard from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) until my last breath of life." This is his intention. Therefore, he says, "Then I thought that I would carry out a word I had heard before they killed me, so I would carry it out." His intention is not that if he were threatened with death, [he would not do it], and the hadith of Abu Hurayrah is understood in this sense. As for this one, he says, "I will carry out what I heard, even if it is at the last moment."
To carry it out, to carry it out, to carry it out means to convey it. The obligation is to convey the Shari'ah, which is a collective obligation (fard kifayah). If no one performs it, it becomes obligatory upon him, whether that is through a question by the state of affairs or through a question by spoken words. So if we know that people are in need of clarifying this legal ruling, it is obligatory for you to clarify it.
