Hadith #310

Arabic Text

English Translation

Hujayn narrated to us, al-Layth ibn Sa'd narrated to us, from Abu al-Zubayr, from Yahya ibn Ja'dah, from Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه) who said: O Messenger of Allah, I hear many hadiths from you which I forget. He said: 'Spread out your garment.' So I spread it. He then gestured as if scooping with his hands and pouring into it, then said: 'Gather it to your chest.' I gathered it, and after that I never forgot any hadith.
