Qarazah bin Ka'b said that Sayyiduna Umar bin Al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, sent a group of the Ansar towards Kufa, and I was among them. Sayyiduna Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, walked with us until he reached Sirar, which is a place with water on the road to Madinah. Then, while dusting off his feet, he said: "You will reach people in Kufa who will have the humming of the Qur'an. They will come to you and say, 'The companions of Muhammad have arrived.' They will come and ask you about hadith, so listen! «اسباغ الوضوء» is three times, and two times (also) suffices." Then he said: "When you reach Kufa, you will meet a group who will have the humming of the Qur'an. They will say, 'The companions of Muhammad have arrived, the companions of Muhammad have arrived.' They will come to you and ask about hadith, so narrate to them the least from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and I am also with you in this matter (i.e., in this regard)." Qarazah said: "I used to sit with the people, they would discuss hadith, and I was the one who remembered the most among them, but when I remembered the advice of Sayyiduna Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, I would remain silent." Imam Darimi Abu Muhammad, may Allah have mercy on him, said: "In my view, what is meant by this is narrating hadith about the battles of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and it is not intended to avoid narrating his Sunnah and obligations."
