أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : " كُنْتُ أَدْعُو أُمِّي إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ وَهِيَ مُشْرِكَةٌ ، فَدَعَوْتُهَا يَوْمًا فَأَسْمَعَتْنِي فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا أَكْرَهُ ، فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنَا أَبْكِي ، قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنِّي كُنْتُ أَدْعُو أُمِّي إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ ، فَتَأْبَى عَلَيَّ ، فَدَعَوْتُهَا الْيَوْمَ فَأَسْمَعَتْنِي فِيكَ مَا أَكْرَهُ ، فَادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَهْدِيَ أُمَّ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِ أُمَّ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، فَخَرَجْتُ مُسْتَبْشِرًا بِدَعْوَةِ نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَلَمَّا جِئْتُ فَصِرْتُ إِلَى الْبَابِ ، فَإِذَا هُوَ مُجَافٌ ، فَسَمِعَتْ أُمِّي خَشْفَ قَدَمَيَّ ، فَقَالَتْ : مَكَانَكَ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ، وَسَمِعْتُ خَضْخَضَةَ الْمَاءِ ، قَالَ : فَاغْتَسَلَتْ وَلَبِسَتْ دِرْعَهَا وَعَجِلَتْ عَنْ خِمَارِهَا ، فَفَتَحَتِ الْبَابَ ، ثُمَّ قَالَتْ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ : أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ ، قَالَ : فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ وَأَنَا أَبْكِي مِنَ الْفَرَحِ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَبْشِرْ قَدِ اسْتَجَابَ اللَّهُ دَعْوَتَكَ وَهَدَى أُمَّ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ، وَقَالَ : خَيْرًا ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، ادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يُحَبِّبَنِي أَنَا وَأُمِّي إِلَى عِبَادِهِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَيُحَبِّبَهُمْ إِلَيْنَا ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : اللَّهُمَّ حَبِّبْ عُبَيْدَكَ هَذَا يَعْنِي أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ وَأُمَّهُ إِلَى عِبَادِكَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، وَحَبِّبْ إِلَيْهِمُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، فَمَا خُلِقَ مُؤْمِنٌ يَسْمَعُ بِي وَلَا يَرَانِي إِلَّا أَحَبَّنِي " .
Abu Hurairah (RA) reported: I invited my mother, who was a polytlieist, to Islam. I invited her one day and she said to me something about Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) which I hated. I came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) weeping and said: Allah's Messenger, I invited my mother to Islam but she did not accept (my invitation). I invited her today but she said to me something which I did not like. (Kindly) supplicate Allah that He may set the mother of Abu Hurairah (RA) right. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: O Allah, set the mother of Abu Hurairah (RA) on the right path. I came out quite pleased with the supplication of Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) and when I came near the door it was closed from within. My mother heard the noise of my footsteps and she said: Abu Hurairah (RA) , just wait, and I heard the noiee of falling of water. She took a bath and put on the shirt and quickly covered her head with a headdress and opened the door and then said: Abu Hurairah (RA) , I bear witness to the fact that there is no god but Allah and Mubammad is His bondsman and His Messenger. He ( Abu Hurairah (RA) ) said: I went back to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and (this time) I was shedding the tears of joy. I said: Allah's Messenger, be happy, for Allah has responded to your supplication and He has set on the right path the mother of Abu Hurairah (RA) . He (the Holy Prophet) praised Allah, and extolled Him and uttered good words. I said: Allah's Messenger, supplicate to Allah so that He may instil love of mine and that of my mother too in the believing servants and let our hearts be filled with their love, whereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: O Allah, let there be love of these servants of yours, i. e. Abu Hurairah (RA) and his mother, in the hearts of the believing servants and let their hearts be filled with the love of the believing servants. ( Abu Hurairah (RA) said: This prayer) was so well granted by Allah that no believer was ever born who heard of me and who saw me but did not love me.
Hadith 2492
حَدَّثَنَا
قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ،
وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ،
وَزُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ جَمِيعًا ، عَنْ
سُفْيَانَ ، قَالَ زُهَيْرٌ : حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، عَنْ
الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ
الْأَعْرَجِ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ
أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ، يَقُولُ : " إِنَّكُمْ تَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يُكْثِرُ الْحَدِيثَ عَنِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَاللَّهُ الْمَوْعِدُ كُنْتُ رَجُلًا مِسْكِينًا أَخْدُمُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى مِلْءِ بَطْنِي ، وَكَانَ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ يَشْغَلُهُمُ الصَّفْقُ بِالْأَسْوَاقِ ، وَكَانَتْ الْأَنْصَارُ يَشْغَلُهُمُ الْقِيَامُ عَلَى أَمْوَالِهِمْ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : مَنْ يَبْسُطْ ثَوْبَهُ فَلَنْ يَنْسَى شَيْئًا سَمِعَهُ مِنِّي ، فَبَسَطْتُ ثَوْبِي حَتَّى قَضَى حَدِيثَهُ ثُمَّ ضَمَمْتُهُ إِلَيَّ ، فَمَا نَسِيتُ شَيْئًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْهُ " .
Al-A'raj reported that he heard Abu Hurairah (RA) as saying: You are under the impression that Abu Hurairah (RA) transmits so many ahadith from Allah's Messenger (may peace up upon him) ; (bear in mind) Allah is the great Reckoner. I was a poor man and I served Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) being satisfied with bare subsistence, whereas the immigrants remained busy with transactions in the bazar; while the Ansar had been engaged in looking after their properties. (He further reported) that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: He who spreads the cloth would not forget anything that he would hear from me. I spread my cloth until he narrated something. I then pressed it against my (chest), so I never forgot anything that I heard from him.
Hadith 2492
This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Abu Huraira but with the variation that the hadith transmitted on the authority of Malik conclude with the words of Abu Huraira and there is no mention of a transmission of these from Allah's Apostle (صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ): " who spreads his cloth," to the end.
Hadith 2493
وحَدَّثَنِي
حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَي التُّجِيبِيُّ ، أَخْبَرَنَا
ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي
يُونُسُ ، عَنْ
ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، أَنَّ
عُرْوَةَ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ
عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَتْ : " أَلَا يُعْجِبُكَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ ، جَاءَ فَجَلَسَ إِلَى جَنْبِ حُجْرَتِي يُحَدِّثُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُسْمِعُنِي ذَلِكَ وَكُنْتُ أُسَبِّحُ ، فَقَامَ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَقْضِيَ سُبْحَتِي ، وَلَوْ أَدْرَكْتُهُ لَرَدَدْتُ عَلَيْهِ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَسْرُدُ الْحَدِيثَ كَسَرْدِكُمْ " .
'A'isha reported: Don't you feel surprised at Abu Huraira? He came (one day) and sat beside the nook of my apartment and began to narrate (the hadith of Allah's Apostle). I was hearing while I was engaged in extolling Allah (reciting Subhan Allah) constantly. He stood up before I finished my repetition of Subhan Allah. if I were to meet him I would have warned him in stern words that Allah's Messenger (صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ) did not speak so quickly as you talk.
