'Abdullah bin 'Amr Narrated from:
The Messenger Of Allah (ﷺ) Said: "Convey From Me, Even If It Be An Ayah, And Narrate From The Children Of Isra'Il, And There Is No Harm, And Whoever Lies Upon Me Purposely, Then Let Him Take His Seat In The Fire."

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 2669
This Hadith combines encouragement and warning. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, Convey from me, even if it be an ayah. This gives value to sharing true knowledge, even if it is small. The Hadith also says to narrate from the Children of Isra'il with no harm, then gives a serious warning: whoever lies upon the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم purposely should take his seat in the Fire. The balance is important. A Muslim should not hide correct knowledge when he can share it, but he must not invent or spread false words. A hadith about conveying even one ayah teaches that da'wah and narration need both effort and honesty. Small truth is better than careless speech.
What we learn from this hadith
- Sharing even a small amount of true guidance has value.
- Conveying from the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم must be done with honesty.
- Lying upon the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم carries a severe warning.
- Religious sharing should join courage with care.
