مُحَمَّدٍ ، قَالَ : " كُنَّا عِنْدَ
أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَعَلَيْهِ ثَوْبَانِ مُمَشَّقَانِ مِنْ كَتَّانٍ ، فَتَمَخَّطَ ، فَقَالَ : بَخْ بَخْ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ يَتَمَخَّطُ فِي الْكَتَّانِ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي وَإِنِّي لَأَخِرُّ فِيمَا بَيْنَ مِنْبَرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى حُجْرَةِ عَائِشَةَ مَغْشِيًّا عَلَيَّ ، فَيَجِيءُ الْجَائِي فَيَضَعْ رِجْلَهُ عَلَى عُنُقِي وَيُرَى أَنِّي مَجْنُونٌ ، وَمَا بِي مِنْ جُنُونٍ مَا بِي ، إِلَّا الْجُوعُ " .
Narrated Muhammad: We were with Abu Huraira while he was wearing two linen garments dyed with red clay. He cleaned his nose with his garment, saying, "Bravo! Bravo! Abu Huraira is cleaning his nose with linen! There came a time when I would fall senseless between the pulpit of Allah's Apostle and `Aisha's dwelling whereupon a passerby would come and put his foot on my neck, considering me a mad man, but in fact, I had no madness, I suffered nothing but hunger."

Hadith Commentary:
The meaning of Abu Hurairah radi Allahu anhu is that there was a time when I was in such straitened circumstances that I did not even have a morsel of bread to eat, and today I am in such comfort that I wipe my nose with silk garments.
In this hadith, there is mention of the pulpit of the Noble Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
This is the point of relevance to the chapter.
The chamber of Aisha radi Allahu anha is also a historical place in which the Noble Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is resting.
