2367. Muḥammad bin Sīrīn said: "We were with Abū Hurairah and he was wearing two linen garments dyed with red ochre. He blew his nose in one of them and said: 'Excellent! Abū Hurairah blows his nose in linens! I saw a time when I would pass out between the Minbar of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and
the dwelling of 'Aishah from overwhelming hunger. Someone came and placed his foot on my neck thinking that I was a mad man, but I was not crazy, it was nothing but hunger." (Saḥīh)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Saḥīh Gharīb [from this route].

Commentary
During the period of the Rightly-Guided Caliphs, military conquests brought abundant wealth, and people were able to live in nice houses and wear fine clothes. They even blew their noses in fine pieces of cloth. This change of fortunes astonished Abū Hurairah ﷺ.
