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 Messenger of Allah ﷺ s recite yesterday in the ʿIsha' 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."
أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ يَقُولُ النَّاسُ أَكْثَرَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ فَلَقِيتُ رَجُلاً فَقُلْتُ بِمَ قَرَأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْبَارِحَةَ فِي الْعَتَمَةِ فَقَالَ لاَ أَدْرِي فَقُلْتُ لَمْ تَشْهَدْهَا قَالَ بَلَى قُلْتُ لَكِنْ أَنَا أَدْرِي قَرَأَ سُورَةَ كَذَا وَكَذَا
