Look at his traditions talking about himself during his living in the (suffa) shelter.

You will find that he was one of its destitute inhabitants.

He lived in it along the life of the Prophet (s).

It was his abode day and night, for he neither had a clan nor a house in Medina.

He clothed himself with a woolen piece, which lice crept on.

He tied it around his neck to reach his legs.

He gathered it with his hands in order that his private parts not to be seen.

Hunger threw him down unconsciously between the minbar and the room of the mosque.

So wherefrom did he get a house that he' pretended in the last days of his life? It was a part of a tradition he told in Damascus about himself and his mother who became Muslim by the prophet's praying for her and her son-as he said.

Look at his protest against those, who denied his traditions.


You will find it contradictory and invalid that hearings turn away from for its silliness and minds deny for its uselessness. Abu Hurayra's evidence against those, who condemned his traditions was a tradition narrated by him saying that once he spread his gannent in front of the prophet (s). The prophet began to ladle knowledge with his hands and put it into the garment saying to Abu Hurayra: "Join it to your chest." Abu Hurayra joined it to his chest and became infallible from forgetting; therefore he was the best of companions in keeping Sunna in mind and the most aware of it.

What ridiculous evidence that served his opponents more than to serve him! It confirmed that what they had ascribed to him was right that he narrated traditions according to his temper without knowing what he was saying. But we do not have save Allah to judge between us.
It was enough for us that he narrated traditions without seeing or hearing and then he pretended that he saw and heard.

Here is an example:

Abu Hurayra said that one day he entered the house of Ruqayya, the daughter of the prophet and the wife of Othman. She had a comb in her hand. She said: "The prophet (s) was here and left a moment ago. I combed his hair."

It was certain that Ruqayya died in the third year of hijra after the battle of Badr and Abu Hurayra came to Medina and became a Muslim in the seventh year of hijra after the battle of Khaybar. So where could he meet Ruqayya and her comb?

Here is an example of his traditions, which were far away from the scientific bases ofIslam. He said: "Prophet Muhammad (s) sent us in a mission and said: "If you find that man and that man (he called them by names) burn them both in fire." When we wanted to set out he said: "I had ordered you to burn those two men in fire, but it is only Allah that may torture people with fire, so if you find them kill them."

It was an abrogation of a matter before its time to be achieved.

It was impossible for Allah and his Apostle.

He had many incredible and imaginative traditions. We mentioned six of them at the end of his forty traditions in this book to be examples for the others.
