We are sitting only for this purpose." He said: "I did not make you swear an oath because of any suspicion, and there is no one who is closer to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and narrates fewer hadith than me, except me.

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'By Allah! Is it really only this that has made you sit here?' They said: 'Yes, by Allah! We are sitting only for this reason.' The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Beware! I did not make you swear an oath because of any suspicion or doubt. In fact, the matter is that Jibreel (peace be upon him) came to me and informed me that Allah, the Exalted, is boasting of you to the angels because of you.'"
