حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا
مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا
سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ
أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنِ
الْبَرَاءِ ، قَالَ :
" مَا كُلُّ الْحَدِيثِ سَمِعْنَاهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، كَانَ يُحَدِّثُنَا أَصْحَابُنَا عَنْهُ ، كَانَتْ تَشْغَلُنَا عَنْهُ رَعِيَّةُ الْإِبِلِ " .
Hazrat Bara’ (may Allah be pleased with him) says that we did not hear all the hadiths directly from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); our companions would also narrate hadiths to us. Because of herding camels, we could not be present in the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) very often.
