Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : So how do we combine the statement of Abu Hurayrah, who says Sahih al-Bukhari 113, with the fact that Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him)
Answer : says this according to what he knew, according to his knowledge. And the reality is the opposite of that.
There is none among the companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) who has narrated more Hadiths than I except `Abdullah bin `Amr (bin Al-`As) who used to write them and I never did
ما من أصحاب النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أحد أكثر مني حديثا عنه مني إلا ما كان من عبدالله بن عمر أنه كان يكثر ولاAnswer : says this according to what he knew, according to his knowledge. And the reality is the opposite of that.
