أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ أَبِي فَرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ جَرِيرٍ

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَأَبِي ذَرٍّ قَالَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَجْلِسُ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَانَيْ أَصْحَابِهِ فَيَجِيءُ الْغَرِيبُ فَلَا يَدْرِي أَيُّهُمْ هُوَ حَتَّى يَسْأَلَ فَطَلَبْنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ نَجْعَلَ لَهُ مَجْلِسًا فَيَعْرِفُهُ الْغَرِيبُ إِذَا أَتَاهُ فَبَنَيْنَا لَهُ دُكَّانًا مِنْ طِينٍ فَكَانَ يَجْلِسُ عَلَيْهِ وَكُنَّا نَجْلِسُ بِجَانِبَيْهِ سِمَاطَيْنِ»

✧ From Abu Hurayrah and Abu Dharr, they said: The Messenger of God ﷺ used to sit among his companions, and a stranger would come and not know who he was until he asked. So we asked the Messenger of God ﷺ to make a seat for him so that a stranger would recognize him when he came. We built for him a bench of clay, and he used to sit on it, and we would sit on either side of him in two lines.
