Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A hadith was reported, Honorable Shaykh, which says, in its meaning: Allah looked uponJami` at-Tirmidhi 2658Sahih (Darussalam) Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2657Sahih (Darussalam).
Answer:
Yes, this is a valid hadith. "Allah looked upon" means He placed a radiance on his face, which is a good complexion. Now, whoever heard the words, meaning the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), what he spoke of, from the rulings of the Shari'ah that were revealed to him, and he grasped it, meaning he understood it, and he grasped it and conveyed it.
It is not sufficient for a person to understand the religion for himself and know it for himself; rather, he must teach others and convey it to others, because this religion is for everyone, and these rulings of the Shari'ah are for everyone.
So he must not conceal what he knows of the rulings of the Book and the Sunnah; rather, he must convey it, because Allah (Mighty and Majestic) says[Ali 'Imran 3:187] Our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) says: "Allah looked upon" Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2658Sahih (Darussalam) meaning he understood it.
And he conveyed itJami` at-Tirmidhi 2657Sahih (Darussalam)
Or perhaps the one who carries the knowledge of fiqh is not a jurist himself, but he conveys it to others so that everyone benefits, and the call reaches everyone. And whoever knows knowledge and conceals it, he will be bridled with a bridle of fire on the Day of Resurrection, as in the hadith. Yes.

A hadith was reported, Honorable Shaykh, which says, in its meaning: Allah looked upon
Allah beautify a man who hears a saying of mine, so he understands it
الله امرأ سمع مقالتي فوعاهاPerhaps the one it is conveyed to is more understanding than the one who heard it.

And [mention, O Muhammad], when Allah took a covenant from those who were given the Scripture, [saying], "You must make it clear to the people and not conceal it."
وَإِذْ أَخَذَ اللَّهُ مِيثَاقَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ لَتُبَيِّنُنَّهُ لِلنَّاسِ وَلَا تَكْتُمُونَهُAllah beautify a man who hears a saying of mine, so he understands it
الله امرأ سمع مقالتي فوعاهاAnd he conveyed it
Perhaps the one it is conveyed to is more understanding than the one who heard it.
