YOUNG AND ELDERY

February 16, 2009

Abu Sa`id Samurah bin Jundub (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I was a boy during the lifetime of Messenger of Allah (Peace Be Upon Him), and used to commit to my memory what he said, but I do not narrate what I preserved because there were among us people who were older than me. [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

 

Commentary: Ibn `Allan has stated that scholars of Hadith have disliked it that in the presence of an eminent and a pious scholar of Hadith in a city, a man inferior to him narrates a Hadith.

We learn from this Hadith the following:

1. It is improper to talk about the Sunnah of the Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) in the presence of someone who is older and knows better in this respect.

2. It is permissible for young children to attend the gathering of the aged and the learned.

3. Honouring and respecting the olderly.
