[6397] 159 - (2492) Abū Hurairah said: “You say that Abū Hurairah narrates too many Aḥādīth from the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and our reckoning will be with Allāh. I was a poor man and I served the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ in return for having enough to eat. The Muḥājirīn were busy with their trading in the market, and the Anṣār were busy with tending to their property. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: ‘Who will spread out his garment so that he will never forget anything that he hears from me?’ So I spread out my garment until he had finished speaking, then I gathered it to me, and I have not forgotten anything that I heard from him.”

159 - (2492) حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَزُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، جَمِيعًا عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، قَالَ زُهَيْرٌ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقُولُ: إِنَّكُمْ تَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يُكْثِرُ الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَاللهُ الْمَوْعِدُ، كُنْتُ رَجُلًا مِسْكِينًا، أَخْدُمُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى مِلْءِ بَطْنِي، وَكَانَ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ يَشْغَلُهُمُ الصَّفْقُ بِالْأَسْوَاقِ وَكَانَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ يَشْغَلُهُمُ الْقِيَامُ عَلَى أَمْوَالِهِمْ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ يَبْسُطْ ثَوْبَهُ فَلَنْ يَنْسَى شَيْئًا سَمِعَهُ مِنِّي» فَبَسَطْتُ ثَوْبِي حَتَّى قَضَى حَدِيثَهُ، ثُمَّ ضَمَمْتُهُ إِلَيَّ، فَمَا نَسِيتُ شَيْئًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْهُ
