How do we reconcile the hadith (Perhaps a messenger is more understanding than a listener) with the obligation that the understanding of the text must be in accordance with the understanding of the righteous Salaf?

The questioner : Our Shaykh, you mentioned at the beginning that the Book and the Sunnah are to be understood according to the understanding of the Salaf of the Ummah, and we cannot understand a hadith except through the understanding of the righteous Salaf (may Allah be pleased with them). How do we reconcile this with the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): What does this mean? Please clarify this hadith?

The Shaykh : What does mean in the Arabic language? Greet your companion, it is for minimization, my brother, it is for minimization, meaning: some of the Companions may come who understand certain issues more than those who heard the words of the Messenger, but it does not mean that he brings something new that was not preceded by all the Companions. Did you understand the answer?

The questioner: Yes.
