[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ once spent two consecutive days with me, then he slowed down his visits, either because he disliked it or because it bothered him. I witnessed, just as the companions of the Prophet ﷺ witnessed, and I heard, just as they heard, them narrating to us Hadiths that were not exactly as they said. And I knew what they omitted from the truth or from goodness, so I feared that they would describe to me in the same way they described to others. Sometimes he would say, "If I were to claim that I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ such and such, then I would be considered truthful." And sometimes he would stand up and say, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said such and such."
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ ثُمَّ زَادَنِي بُطْءً عَنْ بَعْضِ ذَلِكَ أَوْ كَرَاهِيَةً لَهُ أَنَّ رِجَالًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ شَهِدْتُ كَمَا شَهِدُوا وَسَمِعْتُ كَمَا سَمِعُوا يُحَدِّثُونَا بِأَحَادِيثَ مَا هِيَ كَمَا يَقُولُونَ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْتُ مَا يَأْلُونَ عَنِ الْحَقِّ أَوْ قَالَ عَنِ الْخَيْرِ فَأَخَافُ أَنْ يُشْبِهَ لِي كَمَا شَبِهَ لَهُمْ وَكَانَ أَحْيَانًا يَقُولُ لَوْ قُلْتُ أَنِّي قَدْ سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ كَذَا وَكَذَا لَرَأَيْتُ أَنِّي قَدْ صَدَقْتُ وَيَقُومُ أَحْيَانًا فَيَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ كَذَا وَكَذَا
