حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ : إِنَّكُمْ تَقُولُونَ : أَكْثَرَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ! وَاللَّهُ الْمُوعِدُ ، إِنَّكُمْ تَقُولُونَ : مَا بَالُ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ لَا يُحَدِّثُونَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِهَذِهِ الْأَحَادِيثِ ؟ ! وَمَا بَالُ الْأَنْصَارِ لَا يُحَدِّثُونَ بِهَذِهِ الْأَحَادِيثِ ؟ ! وَإِنَّ أَصْحَابِي مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ كَانَتْ تَشْغَلُهُمْ صَفَقَاتُهُمْ فِي الْأَسْوَاقِ ، وَإِنَّ أَصْحَابِي مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ كَانَتْ تَشْغَلُهُمْ أَرْضُوهُمْ وَالْقِيَامُ عَلَيْهَا ، وَإِنِّي كُنْتُ امْرءاًَ مُعْتَكِفًا ، وَكُنْتُ أُكْثِرُ مُجَالَسَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أَحْضُرُ إِذَا غَابُوا ، وَأَحْفَظُ إِذَا نَسُوا ، وَإِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَدَّثَنَا يَوْمًا فَقَالَ : " مَنْ يَبْسُطُ ثَوْبَهُ حَتَّى أَفْرُغَ مِنْ حَدِيثِي ، ثُمَّ يَقْبِضُهُ إِلَيْهِ ، فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ يَنْسَى شَيْئًا سَمِعَهُ مِنِّي أَبَدًا " ، فَبَسَطْتُ ثَوْبِي ، أَوْ قَالَ : نَمِرَتِي ، ثُمَّ قَبَضْتُهُ إِلَيَّ ، فَوَاللَّهِ مَا نَسِيتُ شَيْئًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْهُ ، وَايْمُ اللَّهِ ، لَوْلَا آيَةٌ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ مَا حَدَّثْتُكُمْ بِشَيْءٍ أَبَدًا ، ثُمَّ تَلَا : إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَكْتُمُونَ مَا أَنْزَلْنَا مِنَ الْبَيِّنَاتِ وَالْهُدَى سورة البقرة آية 159 الْآيَةَ كُلَّهَا .
Abdur Rahman A'raj (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once I heard Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) saying: "You people think that Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates many hadiths from the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). (Allah has promised to gather everyone together, and you say: Why do the Muhajir Sahabah not narrate these hadiths from the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)? Or why do the Ansar not narrate these hadiths?) The fact is that the Muhajirun used to be busy in the markets and bazaars with trade, and the Ansari companions were occupied with looking after their wealth and gardens, while I was a single man who was often present in the gatherings of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). When they were absent, I was present; when they forgot, I remembered. Once, the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Who is there who will spread his cloak (for me to sit on) until my speech is finished, then wrap it around his body? Then he will never forget anything he hears from me.' So I spread the cloak that I was wearing. When the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) finished his speech, I wrapped it around my body. By the One in Whose hand is my soul, after that day I never forgot anything I heard from the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). And by Allah, if there were not two verses in the Book of Allah, I would never narrate a single hadith to you." Then he recited those two verses: "Indeed, those who conceal the clear proofs and guidance We have revealed..."
