أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنبَأَنَا رَوْحٌ عَنْ كَهْمَسِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ قَالَ
جَاءَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ إِلَى كَعْبٍ يَسْأَلُ عَنْهُ وَكَعْبٌ فِي الْقَوْمِ فَقَالَ كَعْبٌ مَا تُرِيدُ مِنْهُ؟ فَقَالَ أَمَا إِنِّي لَا أَعْرِفُ لِأَحَدٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ يَكُونَ أَحْفَظَ لِحَدِيثِهِ مِنِّي فَقَالَ كَعْبٌ أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَنْ تَجِدَ طَالِبَ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا سَيَشْبَعُ مِنْهُ يَوْمًا مِنَ الدَّهْرِ إِلَّا طَالِبَ عِلْمٍ أَوْ طَالِبَ دُنْيَا فَقَالَ أَنْتَ كَعْبٌ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ لِمِثْلِ هَذَا جِئْتُ

✧ Abu Hurayrah came to Ka'b asking about him while Ka'b was among the people. Ka'b said, 'What do you want from him?' He said, 'Indeed, I do not know anyone among the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who has better memorization of his hadith than me.' Ka'b said, 'Indeed, you will not find anyone seeking something but that he will eventually be satiated with it at some time, except a seeker of knowledge or a seeker of this world.' He said, 'Are you Ka'b?' He said, 'Yes.' He said, 'It is for something like this that I came.'
