أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ رَكْعَتَيِ الْفَجْرِ ، فَلْيَضْطَجِعْ عَلَى يَمِينِهِ " ، فَقَالَ لَهُ مَرْوَانُ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ : أَمَا يَكْفِي أَحَدَنَا مَمْشَاهُ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ حَتَّى يَضْطَجِعَ ، قَالَ : فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ ابْنَ عُمَرَ ، فَقَالَ : أَكْثَرَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ : هَلْ تُنْكِرُ مِمَّا يَقُولُ شَيْئًا ، قَالَ : لا ، وَلَكِنَّهُ اجْتَرَأَ ، وَجَبُنَّا ، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ، فَقَالَ : مَا ذَنْبِي إِنْ كُنْتُ حَفِظْتُ وَنَسَوْا
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When any one of you has performed the two Sunnah (units) of Fajr, he should lie down on his right side." So Marwan bin Hakam said to Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him): "Is it not sufficient for any one of us to walk towards the mosque until he lies down (after offering the Sunnah)?" This statement reached Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), so he said: "Abu Hurairah narrates many ahadith to us." It was said to him: "Do you deny what he is narrating?" He replied: "No, but he was bold in narrating many ahadith, and we remained cautious." When this statement reached Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: "What is my fault if I remembered (the sayings of the Prophet) and they forgot?"
