Volume 9, Book 92, Number 452:
Narrated Al-A’raj:
Abu Huraira said, “You people claim that Abu Huraira narrates many narrations of Allah’s Apostle.
(Anyhow) with Allah will be our appointment. I was a poor man, and used to stick to Allah’s Apostle
contented with what will fill my stomach, and the Muhajirin (emigrants) used to be busy trading in
the markets, and the Ansar used to be busy looking after their properties. One-day I heard Allah’s
Apostle saying, ‘Who will spread his Rida’ (a garment covering the upper part of the body) till I fin –
ished my speech and then fold it, (i.e. wrap it over your body), in which case he will never forget
anything he had heard from me.” So I spread my garment which I was wearing; and by Him Who
sent Muhammad with the Truth, ever since, I have never forgotten whatever I heard from him (the
Prophet)” (See, Hadith No. 119, Vol. 1)
