Through this phrase millions of Muslims from the early history of Islam to the present have come to be familiar with the name Abu Hurairah. In speeches and lectures, in Friday khutbahs and seminars, in the books of Hadith, seerah and fiqh, the name Abu Hurairah is mentioned in this fashion:
“On the authority of Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: Allah’s Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said... .”
Through his prodigious efforts, hundreds of hadiths were transmitted to later generations. His is the foremost name in the roll of Hadith transmitters. Next to him comes the names of such companions as `Abdullah ibn `Umar, Anas ibn Malik, `A’ishah (the Prophet’s wife), Jabir ibn `Abdullah and Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri, each of whom transmitted over a thousand hadiths of the Prophet. |
