允许以意义转述圣训,因为我们崇拜真主并非依据圣训的字句,而是依据其含义,因为启示(Wahy)是圣训的含义,而非其字句。然而,已有规定:转述者必须通晓任何可能改变含义的因素。如果他不通晓这些,或不知晓这些因素,则不允许以意义转述圣训。至于节略圣训,则是允许的。在省略一部分、只提及另一部分的情况下节略圣训是允许的,条件是被省略的部分与被提及的部分无关。然而,不允许省略或排除主旨(gaya)及其他类似的内容,因为这样会使含义有所欠缺,或使所提及的那部分圣训导向与圣训的(实际)含义完全相反的意思。如果叙述中的主旨(gaya)或其他类似事项属于次要内容,且叙述中存在疑问,则有义务转述可靠的部分,而将有疑问的部分删去。

It is permitted to narrate hadīth by meaning because we do not worship Allah  by the words of a hadīth but by its meaning because the wahy (revelation) is the meaning of the hadīth and not its words. However, it has been stipulated that the narrator be knowledgeable about anything that can change the meaning. If he is not knowledgeable or cognizant of that then it is not allowed to narrate hadīth by meaning. As for the abridgment of the hadīth it is allowed. It is allowed to narrate a hadīth in an abridged form with a part omitted and a part mentioned on the condition that the omitted part does not relate to the part mentioned. However, it is not allowed to omit or exclude the objective (gaya) and other such things which would make the meaning deficient or make the part of the hadīth which has been mentioned lead to a meaning which is completely contrary to the (actual) meaning of the hadīth. If the objective (gaya) or other such matters in the narration are secondary and there is doubt in the narration then it is obligatory to narrate the part which is reliable and the part that is doubted is removed.
