حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: إِنَّكُمْ تَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يُكْثِرُ الْحَدِيثَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَاللهُ الْمَوْعِدُ إِنِّي كُنْتُ امْرَءًا مِسْكِينًا، أَلْزَمُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى مِلْءِ بَطْنِي وَكَانَ الْمُهَاجِرونَ يَشْغَلُهُمُ الصَّفْقُ بِالأَسْوَاقِ وَكَانَتِ الأَنْصَارُ يَشْغَلُهُمُ الْقِيَامُ عَلَى أَمْوَالِهِمْ فَشَهِدْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ وَقَالَ: مَنْ يَبْسُطْ رِدَاءَهُ حَتَّى أَقْضِيَ مَقَالَتِي، ثُمَّ يَقْبِضْهُ فَلَنْ يَنْسى شَيْئًا سَمِعَهُ مِنِّي فَبَسَطْتُ بُرْدَةً كَانَتْ عَلَيَّ فَوَالَّذِي بَعَثَهُ بِالْحَقِّ مَا نَسِيتُ شَيْئًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْهُ.
Al-A'raj Narrated from:
Abû Huraira said, “You people claim that Abû Huraira narrates many narrations of Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم. (Anyhow), with Allâh will be our appointment [1]. I was a poor man and used to stick to Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم contented with what will fill my stomach, and the Muhâjirîn (emigrants) used to be busy trading in the markets, and the Ansâr used to be busy looking after their properties.One day I heard Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم saying, ‘Who will spread his Ridâ (a garment covering the upper part of the body) till I finished my speech and then fold it, (i.e. wrap it over his body) in which case he will never forgot anything he had heard from me.' So I spread my garment which I was wearing; and by Him Who sent Muhammad ﷺ with the Truth, ever since, I have never forgotten whatever I heard from him (the Prophet ﷺ).” ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 452, Vol. 9 )
[1] On the Day of Judgement we will know whether you are right or I.
