[Machine] Abu Hurayrah and Abu Dhar reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to sit between the two companions and a stranger would come, and he wouldn't know who amongst them was the Messenger of Allah ﷺ until he asked. So we requested the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to create a gathering in which the stranger would recognize him when he came, so we built a booth for him with mud, and he would sit on it with us on either side.
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَأَبِي ذَرٍّ قَالَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَجْلِسُ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَانَيْ أَصْحَابِهِ فَيَجِيءُ الْغَرِيبُ فَلَا يَدْرِي أَيُّهُمْ هُوَ حَتَّى يَسْأَلَ فَطَلَبْنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ نَجْعَلَ لَهُ مَجْلِسًا فَيَعْرِفُهُ الْغَرِيبُ إِذَا أَتَاهُ فَبَنَيْنَا لَهُ دُكَّانًا مِنْ طِينٍ فَكَانَ يَجْلِسُ عَلَيْهِ وَكُنَّا نَجْلِسُ بِجَانِبَيْهِ سِمَاطَيْنِ»
