[Machine] "Abu Hurayrah said, 'People say that Abu Hurayrah narrates the most hadiths, so I met a man and asked him, 'In which surah did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recite yesterday during the night prayer?' He replied, 'I don't know.' I said, 'Did you not witness it?' He answered, 'Yes.' I said, 'But I know that he recited in surah such and such.'"

أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ النَّاسُ أَكْثَرَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ فَلَقِيتُ رَجُلًا فَقُلْتُ لَهُ بِأَيِّ سُورَةٍ قَرَأَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْبَارِحَةَ فِي الْعَتَمَةِ؟ فَقَالَ لَا أَدْرِي فَقُلْتُ أَلَمْ تَشْهَدْهَا؟ قَالَ بَلَى قُلْتُ وَلَكِنِّي أَدْرِي قَرَأَ بِسُورَةِ كَذَا وَكَذَا
