[Machine] Abu Huraira came to Kaab to ask about him, and Kaab was among the people. Kaab asked, "What do you want from him?" Abu Huraira replied, "I do not know anyone among the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who has better memory of his statements than me." Kaab said, "Indeed, you will not find a seeker of something who does not become satisfied with it one day in his life, except for a seeker of knowledge or a seeker of the worldly life." Abu Huraira asked, "Are you Kaab?" He replied, "Yes." Abu Huraira then said, "I came for someone like you."
