Question
What is the explanation of the Hadeeth where the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: "Convey from me even a single verse."?
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad 
is His slave and Messenger.
This sentence is part of an authentic Hadeeth (narration) by Al-Bukhari 
and other narrators. It means that the Muslim is required to convey whatever he receives from the Quran and Sunnah (Prophetic tradition) to the people who are not aware of it. Al-Mubaarakfoori said, "It means: convey from me even if it is a short verse from the Quran, and the Quran was conveyed through the Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, from Allaah The Almighty. This implies that Hadeeths should be conveyed as well."
Some scholars said that the word "verse" in the Hadeeth refers to meaningful words, such as: "Whoever keeps silent will be saved," and "The essence of Religion is to offer advice." In that way, it means that "convey from me Hadeeths even if they are few."
However, the first opinion is the predominant one, as stated by Imaam Al-Mubaarakfoori .
Allaah Knows best.
