@Hadithoftheday Abi Hurayrah R.A.
Abu Hurayrah R.A retained more than 5,000 Hadiths word for word, throughout his life.
Abu Hurairah R.A was very keen to seek knowledge.
He was not literate and so all his knowledge depended on oral transmission and memorization

@Hadithoftheday Before accepting Islam, The name of Abu Hurayrah R.A was "Abdul Shams (which means Slave of Sun) ", but after accepting Islam, Prophet Muhammad ﷺ appointed hum with a new name "Abdul - Rehman (which means servant of the most merciful) .

@Hadithoftheday Abu Hurayrah R.A was called as "Father of Kittens (Abu Hurayrah).
Abu Hurairah was given this name because wherever he went, he always had a cat with him.

@Hadithoftheday Abu Huraira R.A had a cat when he was a child. He loved cats. He always played with cats. His friends called him Abu Huraira- ‘father of the cats'.
After that everyone called him Abu Huraira. His real name was almost forgotten.

@Hadithoftheday Abu Hurairah R.A loved knowledge very much. With his strong memory, Abu Hurairah R.A set out to memorize all that he heard from the Prophet ﷺ.He didn’t spend his time in the marketplace or working in the fields. So he was free to stay with the Prophet ﷺ and go on trips with him

@Hadithoftheday "Abu Hurayrah Narrates" is the most widely used phrases in the Muslim vocabulary.
Abu Hurairah R.A was a very pious and devoted person. His house was like a mosque at night. He would stay up for a third of the night, his wife for another third and his servant for another third.

@Hadithoftheday Abu Hurayrah R.A stayed at the Prophet ﷺ 's Mosque & devoted himself to the service of the Prophet ﷺ for three years
The main purpose of his stay was to learn the Qur'an and Hadith from the Prophet ﷺ
Subsequently, he noted 5,374 Hadiths from the Prophet ﷺ in about 1000 days

@Hadithoftheday A total of 1,034 Hadiths have been attested by Imam Bukhari and included in his Jame Al Sahih. Imam Muslim also included 391 Hadiths in his book from Abu Hurairah.

@Hadithoftheday Once Marwaan Ibn Al-Hakam wanted to examine Abu Hurairah R.A's memorizing ability. He invited him to sit with him and asked him to narrate Hadiths while a scribe sat behind a screen and was told to write whatever Abu Hurairah R.A said. +

@Hadithoftheday After a year, Marwaan invited Abu Hurairah R.A again and asked him to narrate the same Hadiths the scribe had written. It was confirmed that Abu Hurairah R.A had not forgotten a single word!
