حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا
أَبُو أَحْمَدَ ، حَدَّثَنَا
سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ
أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنِ
الْبَرَاءِ ، قَالَ :
" مَا كُلُّ مَا نُحَدِّثُكُمُوهُ سَمِعْنَاهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَلَكِنْ حَدَّثَنَا أَصْحَابُنَا ، وَكَانَتْ تَشْغَلُنَا 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 also narrated hadiths to us. Because of herding camels, we were not able to be present in the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) very often.
