Sunan Ibn Majah 25 (Book) #36927
The Difficulty of Narrating Hadith

SUMMARY: Zaid bin Arqam was asked to narrate a hadith from the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) but he said that it was difficult for him as he had grown old and forgotten.

It was narrated that 'Abdur-Rahman bin Abi Laila said: We said to Zaid bin Arqam: 'Tell us a Hadith from the Messenger of Allah '. He said: 'We have grown old and have forgotten, and (narrating) Ahadith from the Messenger of Allah is difficult (not a simple matter)'."
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، قَالَ قُلْنَا لِزَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ حَدِّثْنَا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ‏.‏ قَالَ كَبِرْنَا وَنَسِينَا وَالْحَدِيثُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ ـ شَدِيدٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the difficulty of narrating Ahadiths from the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ). It was narrated by 'Abdur-Rahman bin Abi Laila who said that they asked Zaid bin Arqam to tell them a hadith from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). However, Zaid replied saying that it was difficult for him as he has grown old and forgotten. This shows us how important it is to remember and pass on knowledge from our elders. It also teaches us to be patient with those who are elderly or have difficulty remembering things due to age or other reasons. We should not expect too much from them but rather be understanding and kind towards them.
