حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّی حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ النَّاسُ أَکْثَرَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ فَلَقِيتُ رَجُلًا فَقُلْتُ بِمَا قَرَأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْبَارِحَةَ فِي الْعَتَمَةِ فَقَالَ لَا أَدْرِي فَقُلْتُ لَمْ تَشْهَدْهَا قَالَ بَلَی قُلْتُ لَکِنْ أَنَا أَدْرِي قَرَأَ سُورَةَ کَذَا وَکَذَا
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 1223
Narrated Abu Huraira: People say that I narrate too many narrations of the Prophet; once I met a man (during the lifetime of the Prophet) and asked him, "Which Sura did Allah's Apostle s recite yesterday in the `Isha' prayer?" He said, "I do not know." I said, "Did you not attend the prayer?" He said, "Yes, (I did)." I said, "I know. He recited such and such Sura."
