حَدِيثُ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُ
Hadith of Zayd ibn Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him)
Musnad Ahmad 19304 — Hadith of Zayd ibn Arqam
حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ مُرَّةَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ أَبِي لَيْلَى يُحَدِّثُ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا إِذَا جِئْنَاهُ ، قُلْنَا : حَدِّثْنَا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : إِنَّا قَدْ كَبُرْنَا وَنَسِينَا ، وَالْحَدِيثُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَدِيدٌ .
Ibn Abi Layla says that when we would go to Hazrat Zaid bin Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him) and request him to narrate a hadith, he would say that we have grown old and have forgotten, and narrating a hadith from the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is a very difficult task.
