| Chapter:49 Whoever selected some people to teach them (religious) knowledge preferred them over others for fear that the others may not understand it |
128 Narrated Anas bin Malik: “Once Mu`adh was along with Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) as a companion rider. Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said, “O Mu`adh bin Jabal.” Mu`adh replied, “Labbaik and Sa`daik. O Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him)!” Again the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “O Mu`adh!” Mu`adh said thrice, “Labbaik and Sa`daik, O Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him)!” Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said, “There is none who testifies sincerely that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and Muhammad is his Apostle, except that Allah, will save him from the Hell-fire.” Mu`adh said, “O Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him)! Should I not inform the people about it so that they may have glad tidings?” He replied, “When the people hear about it, they will solely depend on it.” Then Mu`adh narrated the above-mentioned Hadith just before his death, being afraid of sinning (by not telling the knowledge). |
