Sahih Muslim - The Merits of the Companions
Ibn Shihab transmitted on the authority of Ibn Musayyib that Abu Huraira said:People say that Abu Huraira transmits so many ahadith, whereas Allah is the Reckoner, and they say: How is it with Muhajirs and the Ansar that they do not narrate ahadith like him (like Abu Huraira)? Abu Huraira said: I tell you that my brothers from Ansar remained busy with their lands and my brothers Muhajirs were busy in transactions in the bazars, but I always kept myself attached to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) with bare subsistence. I remained present (in the company of the Holy Prophet), whereas they had been absent. I retained in my mind (what the Prophet said), whereas they forgot it. One day Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: He who amongst you spreads the cloth and listens to my talk and would then press it against his chest would never forget anything heard from me. So I spread my mantle and when he had concluded his talk I then pressed it against my chest and so I never forgot after that day anything that he (the Holy Prophet) said. And if these two verses would not have been revealed in the Book I would have never transmitted anything (to anybody):" Those who conceal the clear evidence and the guidance that We revealed" (ii. 159) tip to the last verse
قال ابن شهاب وقال ابن المسيب ان ابا هريرة قال يقولون ان ابا هريرة قد اكثر والله الموعد ويقولون ما بال المهاجرين والانصار لا يتحدثون مثل احاديثه وساخبركم عن ذلك ان اخواني من الانصار كان يشغلهم عمل ارضيهم وان اخواني من المهاجرين كان يشغلهم الصفق بالاسواق وكنت الزم رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم على ملء بطني فاشهد اذا غابوا واحفظ اذا نسوا ولقد قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يوما " ايكم يبسط ثوبه فياخذ من حديثي هذا ثم يجمعه الى صدره فانه لم ينس شييا سمعه " . فبسطت بردة على حتى فرغ من حديثه ثم جمعتها الى صدري فما نسيت بعد ذلك اليوم شييا حدثني به ولولا ايتان انزلهما الله في كتابه ما حدثت شييا ابدا { ان الذين يكتمون ما انزلنا من البينات والهدى} الى اخر الايتين
