What It Means: Reading in Context
The Prophet’s complete quoted sentence is selected from a narration that also records Abu Abd al-Rahman’s teaching and his reason for continuing it. The parenthetical word in English belongs to the source translation. Learning and teaching are both present in the saying. This entry comes from Sahih al-Bukhari 5027. 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.
