Hadith text

Narrated Abu Huraira:I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I hear many narrations from you but I forget them." He said, "Spread your covering sheet." I spread my sheet and he moved both his hands as if scooping something and emptied them in the sheet and said, "Wrap it." I wrapped it round my body, and since then I have never forgotten

Abu Huraira bataate hain: Maine kaha, "Ya Allah ke Rasool! Main aapse bahut riwaayaten sunta hoon magar unhe bhool jata hoon." Unhone kaha, "Apna odhne wala kapda phailao." Maine apna kapda phailaya aur unhone apne donon haathon se aisa ishara kiya jaise kuch sameetkar (mere kapde mein) khali kar rahe hon aur kaha, "Ise lapet lo." Maine ise apne jism ke gird lapeta, aur tab se main kabhi kuch bhoola nahi.
