The Shaykh’s remarks on the hadith (May Allah grant beauty to the one who hears my words and conveys them...)

The Shaykh : All praise is due to Allah; we praise Him, seek His help, and seek His forgiveness. We seek refuge in Allah from the evil of our own souls and from our bad deeds. Whomsoever Allah guides, none can mislead, and whomsoever He leaves to mislead, none can guide. I bear witness that there is no deity but Allah alone, with no partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and His Messenger. As for what follows, the best of speech is the speech of Allah, the best of guidance is the guidance of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), and the worst of matters are their innovations. Every innovation is a religious innovation, every religious innovation is misguidance, and every misguidance is in the Fire. In another hadith, This is a supplication by the Messenger (may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him) for those who are concerned with transmitting the hadith to his Ummah (the Muslim community), in implementation of another hadith, namely his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): The intended meaning of the word “ayah” in this hadith is not the customary Islamic meaning, which is the noble verse from the Qur’an, but rather the intended meaning of the word “ayah” in the hadith is a portion of it, i.e., a sentence. So the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) says: meaning even a single sentence, whether that sentence is from the Book of Allah or from the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). This transmission is a collective obligation; if some people fulfill it, it is lifted from the rest. So what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded regarding its transmission is what he supplicated for its doer in this hadith, that Allah have mercy on him, or in that hadith, he supplicated for him with beauty. Therefore, the commentators of the hadith, when they explain this specific phrase, said: “And Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) responded to the supplication of His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) among the narrators of the hadith and those who transmit it to his Ummah. You will find on their faces the beauty for which the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated for these individuals from the Ummah.”
