Sahih Muslim 2493b (Book 55, Hadith 91) #14515
The Power of Listening to Prophet Muhammad's Words

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the importance of listening to the words of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and how he spoke so clearly that one could count his words.

It was reported that Abu Huraira used to say: Listen to me, inmate of the apartment; listen to me, inmate of the apartment, while 'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) had been busy in observing prayer. As she finished prayer, she said to" Urwa: Did you hear his words? And this is how Allah's Messenger used to utter (so distinctly) that if one intended to count (the words uttered) he would be able to do so.
حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ مَعْرُوفٍ، حَدَّثَنَا بِهِ، سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ كَانَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ يُحَدِّثُ وَيَقُولُ اسْمَعِي يَا رَبَّةَ الْحُجْرَةِ اسْمَعِي يَا رَبَّةَ الْحُجْرَةِ ‏.‏ وَعَائِشَةُ تُصَلِّي فَلَمَّا قَضَتْ صَلاَتَهَا قَالَتْ لِعُرْوَةَ أَلاَ تَسْمَعُ إِلَى هَذَا وَمَقَالَتِهِ آنِفًا إِنَّمَا كَانَ النَّبِيُّ يُحَدِّثُ حَدِيثًا لَوْ عَدَّهُ الْعَادُّ لأَحْصَاهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of listening to the words of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). It was reported that Abu Huraira used to say, “Listen to me, inmate of the apartment” while 'A'isha was busy in observing prayer. As she finished her prayer, she asked Urwa if he heard what Abu Huraira said. This shows how important it is for us as Muslims to listen carefully and attentively when we hear something from our beloved prophet. Furthermore, this hadith also highlights how clear and distinct his speech was; so much so that one could count each word if they wanted. We should strive to emulate this quality in our own speech by speaking with clarity and precision.
