2666. Abū Hurairah said: "There was a man among the Anṣār who would sit with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and he would listen to the Aḥādīth of the Prophet ﷺ and he was amazed with them but he could not remember them. So he complained about that to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. He said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! I listen to your Aḥādīth and I am amazed but I can not remember them.' So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Help yourself with your right hand' and he motioned with his hand as if writing." (Ḍa'if) There is something on this topic from 'Abdullāh bin 'Amr. [Abū 'Eīsā said:] The chain for this Hadīth is not that strong. I heard Muḥammad bin Ismā'īl saying: "Al-Khalīl bin Murrah (a narrator in the chain) is Munkar in Hadīth."

٢٦٦٦ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌اللَّيْثُ، عَنِ ‌الْخَلِيلِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ ، عَنْ ‌يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: «كَانَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ» يَجْلِسُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَيَسْمَعُ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْحَدِيثَ فَيُعْجِبُهُ وَلَا يَحْفَظُهُ، فَشَكَا ذَلِكَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي أَسْمَعُ مِنْكَ الْحَدِيثَ فَيُعْجِبُنِي وَلَا أَحْفَظُهُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: اسْتَعِنْ بِيَمِينِكَ وَأَوْمَأَ بِيَدِهِ لِلْخَطِّ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ إِسْنَادُهُ لَيْسَ بِذَلِكَ الْقَائِمِ. وَسَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ يَقُولُ: الْخَلِيلُ بْنُ مُرَّةَ مُنْكَرُ الْحَدِيثِ.
