وَقَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ: حَدَّثَنَا الْهَيْثَمُ، ثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ، عَنِ ابْنِ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي سَلِيمُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ قَالَ:

قُلْتُ لِأَبِي أُمَامَةَ ؓ: ابْنُ كَمْ كُنْتَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ؟ قَالَ: مَا سَأَلَنِي عَنْهَا غَيْرُكَ قَبْلَكَ، كُنْتُ ابْنَ ثَلَاثٍ وَثَلَاثِينَ، وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي وَحَضَرْتُ خُطْبَةً، فَجَعَلَ يَمِيلُ بِصَدْرِ رَاحِلَتِهِ فَيَكَادُ أَنْ تُزِيلَنِي عَنِ السَّمَاعِ، فَأَضَعُ كَتِفِي فِي صَدْرِ رَاحِلَتِهِ فَأُزِيلُهَا

✧ I said to Abu Umama ؓ: 'How old were you at the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?' He said: 'No one but you has asked me about that before you. I was thirty-three years old. I remember being present at a sermon, and he would lean with the chest of his riding camel, and it would almost unseat me from hearing, so I would put my shoulder against the chest of his camel and push it away.'
