Is it valid for the Tabligh Jama'ah to cite the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying, "Convey from me even a single verse," as evidence for their outings? And what is the grade of the hadith, "Be like the rain, and give people their due"?

The questioner : The questioner says here that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) spoke the truth. So he says,The questioner : The minimum requirement for conveying the message is a single verse. It is not a condition that the one conveying the religion of Allah be a scholar, nor is it a condition that he be from the people of knowledge. This is because the first person to embrace Islam, al-Thufl al-Dawsi, did not know much of the Qur'an, but the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Go and convey to your people." Then he follows up with another question on the same topic: What is the grade of the authenticity of the hadith that says: And if the one who is obligated to call people, such as a scholar, does not do so.

The Shaykh : Such as a scholar.

The questioner : Such as a scholar, for example. So who is the one obligated to call people in this time when corruption has become widespread? May Allah reward you.

The Shaykh : Yes, this is a lecture. It is a question, but it is a lecture. It requires recalling paragraph by paragraph; this paper here might not be enough.

The questioner : No, no, I followed this one itself.

The Shaykh : What is the grade of the hadith...

The questioner : No, no, no.

Another questioner : But this second one, Shaykh.

The questioner : But the second one. But the two questions are related to one topic.

The Shaykh : Ah, you have rearranged the order of the questions, meaning?

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : All right, first I will answer what remains in my mind of the questions. The well-known hadith, perhaps as the brother said, the time for answering about the authentic hadith Speaking about this hadith actually requires a long lecture, so I will say within the limits of what the questioner asked.The questioner : Because the hadith contains three paragraphs: This is the first paragraph, This is the second paragraph, This is the third paragraph.The questioner : What concerns him in his question is what relates to the first paragraph of this hadith. So he builds upon this paragraph, which is the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): He builds upon it a very tall structure on a weak foundation. This is because the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is very clear in its indication, and no two people differ on it, and it is: Rather, the hadith is broader and more comprehensive than this meaning. It means: Convey even a single verse, which is a sentence from the Qur'an or from the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). No one says that if there is a man from the general Muslims who is not a scholar, no one says that if a person is not a scholar and memorizes a verse from the Qur'an well, or an authentic hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), no one says that it is not permissible for this layman to convey to one who does not know and has no knowledge of that verse or that hadith. No one says so, except by what the hadith indicates. So linking the hadith to the organized, innovated outing, as we mentioned last night, that it is three days, forty days, etc., linking this hadith to that regulated outing by a law that Muslims do not know except in this era, this is in reality from the category of burdening the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) with what it cannot bear. So you, OThe questioner : If you are in the worst case from the general Muslims, you are not a scholar and you are not a student of knowledge, but you memorize a verse from the Book of Allah, no one forbids you from teaching it to one who does not know it or recognize it. Likewise, if you memorize a hadith from the hadiths of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), no one forbids you from conveying this hadith to one who has not known it or heard of it. This is a matter of consensus. But what does this hadith have to do with that outing, which the questioner perhaps knows about and its details better than I do? We said to these good brothers who are eager for that outing, which they call in the path of Allah: Sit in the houses of Allah and learn the Book of Allah and the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). That is better for you than that you go out on that outing which your predecessors did not know. So this hadith has no relation to what we are advising them to do.
