Is the one who narrated the most from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) the one with the most knowledge?

Question : This is an important issue concerning terminology. Does the one who narrated the most mean that he has more knowledge and took more from the Messenger of Allah?

Answer : No, but Abu Hurayrah died later, so he narrated to the people a lot. Otherwise, we know that what Abu Bakr took from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was much more than what Abu Hurayrah took. And yet, Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) is among the four Caliphs with the least narration from him, because his lifespan was short, and the people in his time each had a hadith with them, and he did not devote himself to narrating hadiths either. Therefore, the narration from him was few. As for Abu Hurayrah, he devoted himself to narrating hadiths, and his lifespan was long after the death of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). However, the matter remains open to consideration regarding 'Umar and Abu Bakr.
Does this mean that 'Umar has more knowledge than Abu Bakr because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him the surplus? Or is it said that this indicates that 'Umar was in need, unlike Abu Bakr? This is a matter for consideration and reflection. Otherwise, there is no doubt that Abu Bakr's knowledge is greater than 'Umar's knowledge, even though 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) lived long, and the people benefited from his life and his caliphate, and they took much knowledge and much governance from him, unlike Abu Bakr.
