Abu Ghadiah Yamami says that once I arrived in Madinah Munawwarah. There, the messenger of Kathir bin Salt came and invited the people there. But except for Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) and five other men with him, among whom I was also one, no one stood up. These gentlemen went and ate food at his place. Then Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) came and washed his hands and said, "By Allah! You people are disobedient to Abu al-Qasim (peace and blessings be upon him)."
