What It Means: Reading in Context
Abdullah ibn Amr reports this opening instruction from the Prophet. The full narration also discusses accounts of Bani Israel and ends with a severe warning against deliberately attributing a lie to him. The invitation to convey his teachings must be read alongside that responsibility for accuracy. This entry comes from Sahih al-Bukhari 3461. The displayed text is an excerpt, not the complete narration. Follow the source link to read the narrator, full wording and in-book reference together. A hadith number identifies the source used here; numbering systems can differ between editions. Being able to inspect a source is important when a short statement is shared outside its original setting. The accompanying reflection is an editorial prompt for everyday conduct. It is not part of the hadith and does not replace explanation from qualified scholarship. Avoid extending a short reminder into a religious ruling that the entry itself does not establish.
