أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ يَعْنِيَانِ ابْنَ عِيسَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

إِنَّ النَّاسَ يَقُولُونَ أَكْثَرَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ وَاللهِ لَوْلَا آيَتَانِ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ مَا حَدَّثْتُ حَدِيثًا ثُمَّ يَتْلُو {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَكْتُمُونَ مَا أَنْزَلْنَا مِنَ الْبَيِّنَاتِ وَالْهُدَى مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا بَيَّنَّاهُ لِلنَّاسِ فِي الْكِتَابِ} [البقرة 159] إِلَى {التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ} [البقرة 160] وَيَقُولُ عَلَى أَثَرِ الْآيَتَيْنِ إِنَّ إِخْوَانَنَا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ كَانَ يَشْغَلُهُمُ الْعَمَلُ فِي أَمْوَالِهِمْ وَإِنَّ إِخْوَانَنَا مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ كَانَ يَشْغَلُهُمُ الصَّفْقُ بِالْأَسْوَاقِ وَإِنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ كَانَ يَلْزَمُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لِشِبَعِ بَطْنِهِ وَيَحْضُرُ مَا لَا يَحْضُرُونَ وَيَحْفَظُ مَا لَا يَحْفَظُونَ

Chain of narrators
  1. Muḥammad b. Ismāʿīl b. Ibrāhīm and ʿAlī b. Muḥammad b. ʿAlī

  6. Abū Hurayrah

✧ People say, 'Abu Hurayrah narrates too much.' By God, were it not for two verses in the Book of God, I would not have narrated a single hadith. Then he recited: {Indeed, those who conceal what We sent down of clear signs and guidance after We made it clear to the people in the Book} [Al-Baqarah: 159] up to {the Accepter of repentance, the Merciful} [Al-Baqarah: 160]. And he says following the two verses: 'Our brothers among the Ansar were occupied with work on their properties, and our brothers among the Muhajirun were occupied with trading in the markets. Abu Hurayrah used to stay close to the Messenger of God ﷺ to fill his belly, so he was present at what they did not attend and memorized what they did not memorize.'
