وآخر رابع لم يكذب على رسول الله ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) ، مبغض للكذب خوفا من الله ، وتعظيما لرسول الله ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) ، لم ينسه ، بل حفظ ما سمع على وجهه ، فجاء به كما سمعه ، لم يزد فيه ، ولم ينقص منه ، وعلم الناسخ من المنسوخ ، فعمل بالناسخ ، ورفض المنسوخ ، فان أمر النبي ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) مثل القرآن ، منه ناسخ ومنسوخ ، وخاص وعام ، ومحكم ومتشابه .

And lastly is the one who did not ascribe lies to the Messenger of Allah -saww , hated lying due to his fear of Allah -azwj , and respect for the Messenger of Allah -saww , and did not forget it, but memorised what he had heard exactly. He went with it as he had heard it, did not add anything to it, and did not leave anything out from it, and knew the abrogating from the abrogated.

He acted upon the abrogating one, and rejected the abrogated one, for the order of the Prophet -saww is similar to the Quran, from which there is the Abrogating and the Abrogated, and the special and the general, and Decisive and Allegorical.

وقد كان يكون من رسول الله ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) الكلام له وجهان ، وكلام عام ، وكلام خاص مثل القرآن ـ إلى أن قال : ـ فما نزلت على رسول الله ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) آية من القرآن إلا أقرأنيها وأملاها عليّ ، فكتبتها بخطي ، وعلمني تأويلها وتفسيرها ، وناسخها ومنسوخها ، ومحكمها ومتشابهها ، وخاصها وعامها ، ودعا الله لي أن يعطيني فهما وحفظا ، فما نسيت آية من كتاب الله ، ولا علما أملاه عليّ وكتبته . الحديث .

And that which came from the Messenger of Allah -saww had two perspectives – General speech and special speech like the Quran’ – until he -asws said: ‘That which came down to the Messenger of Allah -saww of the Verses of the Quran, he -saww read it to me -asws and made me -asws write it down which I -asws wrote it by my -asws own handwriting, and taught me -asws its explanation and its interpretation, and its Abrogating and its Abrogated, and its Decisive and its Allegorical, and its Special and its general, and supplicated to Allah -azwj for me -asws to be Given understading and its preservation.

I -asws did not forget any Verse from the Book of Allah -azwj , nor that which I -asws was taught and made to write it down’.
