We were with Abu Huraira while he was wearing two linen garments dyed with red clay. He cleaned his nose with his garment, saying, "Bravo! Bravo! Abu Huraira is cleaning his nose with linen! There came a time when I would fall senseless between the pulpit of Messenger of Allah ﷺ and ʿAisha's dwelling whereupon a passerby would come and put his foot on my neck, considering me a mad man, but in fact, I had no madness, I suffered nothing but hunger."  

كُنَّا عِنْدَ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَعَلَيْهِ ثَوْبَانِ مُمَشَّقَانِ مِنْ كَتَّانٍ فَتَمَخَّطَ فَقَالَ بَخْ بَخْ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ يَتَمَخَّطُ فِي الْكَتَّانِ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي وَإِنِّي لأَخِرُّ فِيمَا بَيْنَ مِنْبَرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَى حُجْرَةِ عَائِشَةَ مَغْشِيًّا عَلَىَّ فَيَجِيءُ الْجَائِي فَيَضَعُ رِجْلَهُ عَلَى عُنُقِي وَيُرَى أَنِّي مَجْنُونٌ وَمَا بِي مِنْ جُنُونٍ مَا بِي إِلاَّ الْجُوعُ  

[Machine] "We were with Abu Hurayrah when he had two worn-out garments. He took a piece of them and said, 'Bah, Bah, Abu Hurayrah is tearing up in cotton. Indeed, I saw myself between the pulpit of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) and the chamber of Aisha, fainting. Then a devilish being would come and sit on my chest. I would say, "That's not me. That is hunger.""  

كُنَّا عِنْدَ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَعَلَيْهِ ثَوْبَانِ مُمَشَّقَانِ فَتَمَخَّطَ فِيهِمَا وَقَالَ بَخٍ بَخٍ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ يَتَمَخَّطُ فِي الْكَتَّانِ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي فِيمَا بَيْنَ مِنْبَرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَحُجْرَةِ عَائِشَةَ ؓ أَخِرُّ مَغْشِيًّا عَلَيَّ فَيَجِيءُ الْجَائِي فَيَقْعُدُ عَلَى صَدْرِي فَأَقُولُ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِي ذَاكَ؛ إِنَّمَا هُوَ الْجُوعُ
