Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ وَعَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ب
ْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ نَضَّرَ اللَّهُ امْرَأً سَمِعَ مِنَّا حَدِيثًا فَحَفِظَهُ حَتَّى يُبَلِّغَهُ فَرُبَّ مُبَلَّغٍ أَحْفَظُ لَهُ مِنْ سَامِعٍ

English Translation
It was narrated from 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (رضي الله عنه) — via Muhammad ibn Ja'far, from Shu'ba; and 'Abd al-Razzaq, from Isra'il, from Simak ibn Harb, from 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Abdillah ibn Mas'ud, from his father — from the Prophet ﷺ. 'Abd al-Razzaq says: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'May Allah brighten the face of a man who hears a hadith from us, preserves it, and then conveys it [to others] — for perhaps the one it is conveyed to has a better memory of it than the one who heard it [directly].'
