It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: Who is there who, after hearing one, two, three, four, or five matters from the obligations of Allah, ties them in the corner of his sheet, then acquires knowledge of these matters himself and also teaches them to others? Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I submitted, O Messenger of Allah! I am present for this task. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: Spread your cloth. So I spread my cloth, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) mentioned some matters and then said: Now gather up this cloth. So I gathered up my cloth and pressed it to my chest; I hope that after this, I will not forget any hadith I hear from you.
