[Machine] Zaid came to you, Abu Huraira, for I was with Abu Huraira and Fulan in the mosque one day, supplicating to Allah and remembering our Lord. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us and sat with us, so we fell silent. He said, "Continue with what you were doing." Zaid said, "I had already made supplication, as well as my companions, before Abu Huraira, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ confirmed our supplications. Then Abu Huraira made supplication saying, 'O Allah, I ask You for the same thing that my two companions asked for, and I ask You for knowledge that is not forgotten.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Ameen.' So we said, 'O Messenger of Allah, we also ask Allah for knowledge that is not forgotten.' He said, 'The young boy from Daws has surpassed you in that.'"  

الكبرى للنسائي:٥٨٣٩أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَجُلًا جَاءَ زَيْدَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ فَقَالَ

لَهُ زَيْدٌ عَلَيْكَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ فَإِنِّي بَيْنَمَا أنا وَأَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ وَفُلَانٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ نَدْعُو اللهَ وَنَذْكُرُ رَبَّنَا خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى جَلَسَ إِلَيْنَا فَسَكَتْنَا فَقَالَ «عُودُوا لِلَّذِي كُنْتُمْ فِيهِ» قَالَ زَيْدٌ فَدَعَوْتُ أَنَا وَصَاحِبَيَّ قَبْلَ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُؤَمِّنُ عَلَى دُعَائِنَا ثُمَّ دَعَا أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ فَقَالَ اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِثْلَ مَا سَأَلَكَ صَاحِبَايَ هَذَانِ وَأَسْأَلُكَ عِلْمًا لَا يُنْسَى فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «آمِينَ» فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَنَحْنُ نَسْأَلُ اللهَ عِلْمًا لَا يُنْسَى فَقَالَ «سَبَقَكُمْ بِهَا الْغُلَامُ الدَّوْسِيُّ»
