Ayat
40. Whether We show you (O
Muhammad 
[SAWW](PBUH) part of what We have promised them or cause you to
die, your duty is only to convey (the Message) and on Us is the reckoning.
Ayat 41. See they not that We gradually reduce the land
(of disbelievers, by giving it to the believers, in war victories) from its
outlying borders. And Allah judges, there is none to put back His Judgment and
He is Swift at reckoning.
Hazrat Abdullah bin Amr bin Al-Aas (May Allah
be pleased with them) reported: The Messenger of Allah 
[SAWW](PBUH) said, "Convey from me even an Ayah of the Quran;
relate traditions from Banu Israel, and there is no restriction on that; but he
who deliberately forges a lie against me let him have his abode in the
Hell.''
[Al-Bukhari Book 04, Chapter 56,
Hadith # 667].
1. It stresses the importance of acquiring
knowledge of the Qur'an and Hadith and imparting it to others. No matter whether
one has more or less knowledge, he must communicate it to others. There is no
justification to presume that preaching or inviting to the Message of Allah is
the duty of religious scholars and those who are well-versed in this sphere. In
fact, it is a duty upon every Muslim, so much so that if a person knows even a
single Verse of the Qur'an, that is to say if he knows only one injunction of
Allah, he is duty bound to communicate it to other people.
2. It allows the communication of Jewish
Traditions but this permission is subject to the condition that such Traditions
are not against the elucidations of the Qur'an and Hadith.
3. There is a stern warning on attributing any false saying
to the Prophet [SAWW](PBUH). This demands strict scrutiny of Ahadith. If a
Hadith does not have a reliable authority or whose chain of narrators has a
false link or a person of doubtful integrity, that is to say if it is weak, then
it is a serious offense to quote it as a Hadith of the Prophet [SAWW](PBUH).
