The Power of Listening

وَحَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ أَخِي ابْنِ وَهْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَمِّي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عُمَرُ بْنُ، مَالِكٍ وَحَيْوَةُ بْنُ شُرَيْحٍ عَنِ ابْنِ الْهَادِ، بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ ‏.‏ مِثْلَهُ سَوَاءً وَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ‏.‏ وَلَمْ يَقُلْ سَمِعَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith emphasizes the importance of listening carefully to what is being said, rather than making assumptions. It teaches us that we should pay attention to the words that are spoken, rather than jumping to conclusions or forming our own opinions without hearing all the facts. We should also be careful not to make assumptions about what someone else has heard or seen, as this can lead us astray from the truth. Furthermore, it reminds us that we should always strive for accuracy in our communication with others by ensuring that we have heard everything correctly before passing on information or forming an opinion.

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was known for his patience and wisdom when it came to listening carefully before speaking or acting upon something he had heard. He would often pause before responding in order to ensure he understood exactly what was being said and did not jump into any conclusions without first verifying all facts presented. By following this example, we can ensure accuracy in our communication with others and avoid misunderstandings due to incorrect assumptions or hearsay.
