Imam Al-Bukhari and Imam Muslim relate that Abu Huraira (R.A.) said:

They (people) say Abu Hurairah narrates a lot of (hadith) from the Prophet (P.B.U.H.), why don’t the Helpers and the Immigrants narrate like him, as if they doubted me, I will tell you why it is so. The Helpers used to work in their farms and the Immigrants in the market. I always accompanied the Prophet, I was present when they were absent, I memorized when they forgot.


The Prophet (P.B.U.H.) said one day:
“Who among you will grant me his cloth so that I empty my words on it, then he holds it to his chest and he will never ever forget what he hears?”.

praying in Masjid Al-Haram (Mecca) and Abu Jahal was seated with his colleagues.

One of them went and brought it, then they poured it on the Prophet (P.B.U.H.) while he was
prostrating. At which they really laughed. The Prophet (P.B.U.H.) did not move from his
position until Fatima (R.A.) came and removed what she could of it.

He rose and said,

“O Allah I beseech you to punish the Quraish”.

The Quraish then complained, because they believed that a dua made in Mecca was answered directly. This made the Prophet rephrase and say,

“O Lord I beseech you to punish Abu Jahal and I beseech you to punish U’tbah Ibn Rabia’h, Shu’bah Ibn Rabia’h, Walid Ibn U’tbah, Umaiyah Ibn Khalaf and U ’qbah Ibn Abu Mu’eet”.
