Commentary:
Ibn `Allan has stated that scholars of Hadith have disliked it that in the presence of an eminent and a
pious scholar of Hadith in a city, a man inferior to him narrates a Hadith.
We learn from this Hadith the following:
1. It is improper to talk about the Sunnah of the Prophet (PBUH) in the presence of someone who is older and knows
better in this respect.
2. It is permissible for young children to attend the gathering of the aged and the learned.
3. Honouring and respecting the olderly.
