Do you see that people are lacking in you, and among the people among the companions of the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, are those among them.” So I left that and began to ask the companions of the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, about the hadith. If he were to inform me of the hadith about the man, then I would go to his door, and he would cover the dirt in the people. Then he comes out and sees me and says, O cousin of the Messenger of God, what brought you did you not send for me and I will come to you, and I say, “No, I have the right to come to you and ask you about the hadith.” Then that Ansari boy lived until he saw me, and the people had gathered around me asking me, and he said, “This boy was wiser than me.”
