اُردوEn
حدثنا أبو عمرو عثمان بن أحمد بن السَّمّاك ببغداد، حدثنا أبو جعفر محمد بن عبيد الله بن أبي داود المُنادِي، حدثنا رَوْح بن عُبادة، حدثنا كَهمَس بن الحسن، عن عبد الله بن شَقِيق قال: جاء أبو هريرة إلى كعبٍ يَسأَل عنه وكعبٌ في القوم، فقال كعب: ما تريدُ منه؟ فقال: أمَا إني لا أعرفُ أحدًا من أصحاب رسول الله ﷺ يكون أحفظَ لحديثه منِّي، فقال كعب: أمَا إنك لم تَجِدْ أحدًا يَطلُبُ شيئًا إلّا سيَشبَعُ منه يومًا من الدهر إلّا طالبَ علمٍ، وطالبَ دنيا، فقال: أنت كعب، فإني لِمثْل هذا جئتُ (2).
هذا حديث صحيح على شرط الشيخين. وقولُ الصحابي: إني لحديثِ رسول الله ﷺ أحفظُ من غيري، يُخرَّج في مسانيده.
[التعليق - من تلخيص الذهبي] ترقيم العلميه 313 - فيه انقطاع

It is narrated from Abdullah bin Shaqiq that Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) came to Ka'b (al-Ahbar) and asked about him while Ka'b was present in that very gathering. Ka'b asked: What do you want from him? Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Know that I do not know anyone among the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) who has memorised his (peace and blessings be upon him) hadiths better than I." Ka'b replied: "Listen! You will not find anyone who seeks something except that he will one day have his fill of it, except the seeker of knowledge and the seeker of the world." Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "You are indeed Ka'b (who speaks so profoundly); it is for words like these that I came."
This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim); and a Companion's saying, "I have memorised hadith better than others", is recorded in their Musnads.

(2) رجاله عن آخرهم ثقات، وأعلَّه الذهبي في "تلخيصه" بالانقطاع، والظاهر أنه ذهب إلى أنَّ ¤ ¤ عبد الله بن شقيق لم يحضر هذه القصة التي رواها، لكن عبد الله بن شقيق قد سمع من أبي هريرة وروى عنه، فلا يبعد أن يكون أبو هريرة قد حدَّثه بما جرى له مع كعب، والله أعلم.
Grading: All its narrators, to the last of them, are thiqah.
Technical note / Defect ('illah): Imam al-Dhahabi in "al-Talkhis" declared it defective due to inqita' (a break in the chain); apparently his view is that Abd Allah bin Shaqiq was not present at this incident. But since Abd Allah bin Shaqiq heard from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) and narrated from him, it is not unlikely that Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) himself told him about what happened with Ka'b. And Allah knows best.
