Explanation of the Hadith: “Convey from me even if it is a single verse.”
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : And we hear this deviation, yet we continue in it. This is the first thing. The second thing is that we do not convey it to the people, nor do we warn them against it. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say: Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2669Sahih (Darussalam). The point of this hadith is his saying: Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2669Sahih (Darussalam). The intended meaning of “verse” here is the general customary meaning, not a verse from the Qur’an. This is because the original meaning of the word “verse” in the Arabic language is a sentence, a complete sentence. So here, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) in this hadith commands every Muslim who has heard a verse, meaning a sentence from the hadiths of the Messenger (may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him), to convey it to the people. By doing so, correct knowledge spreads. As you know, Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him), one of the great scholars of the Salafi school, who follow the righteous Salaf in creed, jurisprudence, and conduct, used to say. Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
“Knowledge: Allah said, His Messenger said, / The Companions said; it is not deception.
Knowledge is not: you setting up foolish disagreement *** Between the Messenger and the opinion of a jurist
Nor by denial of the attributes and their negation, *** Out of fear of ta'til [denial of the divine attributes] and tashbih [likening Allah to creation]."
The Shaykh: Knowledge, he said, is what Allah said, what the Messenger of Allah said, and in the third and final rank, what the Companions said. For they are the ones who transmitted to us what Allah said through the tongue of His Prophet, and what the Messenger (may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him) said in his own words from his hadiths. They are the trustworthy ones. They are the ones who transmitted to us this Shari’ah with its Book and the Sunnah of its Prophet. Therefore, we must focus not on transmitting hearsay and gossip, but on what Allah said and what the Messenger of Allah said.Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2669Sahih (Darussalam). So, the summary of this talk, its essence, is in two brief sentences. The first concerns you, the worshippers: do not race ahead of the imam with “Ameen,” thereby contradicting the noble Messenger in his command. Sunan Abi Dawud 936Sahih (Al-Albani). The second and final sentence is that you convey this hadith to the people behind you and clarify it to them in the manner you heard it. What is this hadith? We repeat it over and over again, because it was among the practices of the Messenger (may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him) that, as it came in Sahih al-Bukhari, he would repeat a word three times until it was understood from him, until it was understood from him, meaning until it was comprehended from him. So the Messenger (may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him) says: Sunan Abi Dawud 936Sahih (Al-Albani). And this is a reminder, and the reminder benefits the believers. Welcome, and welcome to the generous guests. How are you? May you be well. May Allah bless you. If the imam says: [Al-Fatihah 1:7] Ameen, then the followers should not precede him with Ameen.
The questioner : This was my intention.
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good. So, racing to do good, if Allah wills. Welcome.
The questioner : The questioner:The questioner
The Shaykh: Yes.
Convey from me, even if it be an Ayah, and narrate from the Children of Isra'il, and there is no harm, And whoever lies upon me purposely, then let him take his seat in the Fire.
بلغوا عني ولو آية وحدثوا عن بني إسرائيل ولا حرج ، ومن كذب عليّ متعمدا فليتبوأ مقعده من النارConvey from me, even if it be an Ayah
بلغوا عني ولو آية“Knowledge: Allah said, His Messenger said, / The Companions said; it is not deception.
Knowledge is not: you setting up foolish disagreement *** Between the Messenger and the opinion of a jurist
Nor by denial of the attributes and their negation, *** Out of fear of ta'til [denial of the divine attributes] and tashbih [likening Allah to creation]."

Convey from me, even if it be an Ayah
بلغوا عني ولو آيةWhen the Imam says Amin, say Amin
إذا أمن الإمام فأمنواWhen the Imam says Amin, say Amin, for if anyone’s utterance of Amin synchronnises with that of the angles, he will be forgiven his past sins.
إذا أمن الإمام فأمنوا فإنه من وافق تأمينه تأمين الملائكة غفر له ما تقدم من ذنبهnot of those who have evoked [Your] anger or of those who are astray.

The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good. So, racing to do good, if Allah wills. Welcome.
The questioner : The questioner:The questioner
The Shaykh: Yes.
