3841. Abū Hurairah [may Allāh be pleased with him] said: "There is none with more Ahādīth from the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ than I, except for 'Abdullāh bin 'Amr, for he used to write, (the Ahādīth) and I did not used to write." (Ṣaḥīḥ) [Abū 'Eisā said: This Hadīth is Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ.]
٣٨٤١ - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ ، عَنْ وَهْبِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ ، عَنْ أَخِيهِ هَمَّامِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: «لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ أَكْثَرَ حَدِيثًا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنِّي إِلَّا عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو،» فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ يَكْتُبُ وَكُنْتُ لَا أَكْتُبُ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

It was Abū Hurairah's own conclusion that as 'Abdullāh bin 'Amr wrote the narrations and he did not, therefore, 'Abdullāh bin 'Amr had more narrations, whereas the actual situation was reverse. Abū Hurairah had memorized all the narrations due to the supplication of the Prophet ﷺ.
