Sahih al-Bukhari 113 (Book 3, Hadith 55) #113
Narrating Hadiths: Abu Huraira vs. Abdullah bin Amr

SUMMARY: The hadith is about Abu Huraira's narration of hadiths and how he was surpassed by Abdullah bin Amr bin Al-As in terms of the number of hadiths narrated.

Narrated Abu Huraira: There is none among the companions of the Prophet who has narrated more Hadiths than I except 'Abdullah bin 'Amr (bin Al-'As) who used to write them and I never did the same.
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي وَهْبُ بْنُ مُنَبِّهٍ، عَنْ أَخِيهِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقُولُ مَا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ أَحَدٌ أَكْثَرَ حَدِيثًا عَنْهُ مِنِّي، إِلاَّ مَا كَانَ مِنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ يَكْتُبُ وَلاَ أَكْتُبُ‏.‏ تَابَعَهُ مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ هَمَّامٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of narrating and recording hadiths. It was narrated by Abu Huraira who said that he has narrated more hadiths than anyone else except for Abdullah bin Amr who used to write them down. This shows us that it is important to record what we learn so that it can be shared with others and passed down through generations. It also teaches us the importance of learning from those around us as even though there were many companions of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, only two are mentioned here as having a large number of narrations - showing us that we should strive to learn from those around us and not just rely on books or other sources for knowledge.
