Sahih al-Bukhari 7073 (Book 96, Hadith 81)
(Anyhow) with Allah will be our appointment. I was a poor man, and used to stick to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)
contented with what will fill my stomach, and the Muhajirin (emigrants) used to be busy trading in the
markets, and the Ansar used to be busy looking after their properties. One-day I heard Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)
saying, ‘Who will spread his Rida’ (a garment covering the upper part of the body) till I finished my
speech and then fold it, (i.e. wrap it over your body), in which case he will never forget anything he
had heard from me.” So I spread my garment which I was wearing; and by Him Who sent Muhammad
with the Truth, ever since, I have never forgotten whatever I heard from him (the Prophet)” (See,
Hadith No. 119, Vol. 1)
“ مَنْ يَبْسُطْ رِدَاءَهُ حَتَّى أَقْضِيَ مَقَالَتِي ثُمَّ يَقْبِضْهُ، فَلَنْ يَنْسَى شَيْئًا سَمِعَهُ مِنِّي ”. فَبَسَطْتُ بُرْدَةً كَانَتْ عَلَىَّ، فَوَالَّذِي بَعَثَهُ بِالْحَقِّ مَا نَسِيتُ شَيْئًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْهُ.
