Hazrat Hammam narrates that Hazrat Abu Dawood, who was blind, went to Hazrat Qatadah. When he left from him, people said to Hazrat Qatadah: This person narrates from eighteen Badr companions (may Allah be pleased with them). Hazrat Qatadah said: He used to ask questions before the plague that caused destruction. He knows nothing about this. By Allah, Hasan and Hazrat Saeed bin Musayyib did not narrate directly from any Badr companion, except for Hazrat Saeed who narrates from Hazrat Saad.
