..............that cow's milk has a cure for every illness in it?
Yes, it's true! On the authority of 'Abdullaah ibn Mas'ood (may Allaah be pleased with him), the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) said:
[1] It was collected by Al-Haakim (#8274). Al-Albaanee called it saheeh in Saheeh Jaami' As-Sagheer (#4059).
..............Did you know there was a man who memorized a million narrations of the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhe wa sallam)?
It's true! His name was Ahmad ibn Muhammad ash-Shaybaanee, also known as Imaam Ahmad ibn Hanbal, may Allaah have Mercy on him. Aboo Zur'ah ar-Raazee said,
Taareekh Baghdad (4/419), refer to the introduction of Tadreeb ar-Raawee (1/40, Maktabah al-Kawthar)
This number may shock you, however it is not strange considering he was the called the imaam of Ahlus-Sunnah. Similar numbers have been reported about his peers and contemporaries:
Reports mentioning these numbers can be found in Tadreeb ar-Raawee (1/40-42).
Some one might say - How can there be hundreds of thousands of narrations from the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhe wa sallam)? The answer is from a number of angles:
-1- These numbers are very possible since the Companions used to focus on and talk about everything the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) did, said, and approved of. They also would describe his character and physical characteristics.
The shaykh explained that they would talk about what he did from the minute he woke up until he went to sleep, where he went, how he walked, what he ate and drank, how he prayed, what he said to whom, etc. They reported everything they saw from him. [8]
As explained by Wasee Allaah 'Abbaas in his classes explaining Tadreeb ar-Raawee, which took place in the year 1421 at the Haram in Makkah.
-2- These numbers include narrations that come by way of different chains. One hadeeth may have dozens of different chains, and each one is memorized and considered a hadeeth.
Ath-Thahabee said about the 1,000,000 narrations of Yahyaa ibn Ma'een, "He meant with repetition (one hadeeth with different chains and wordings). Do you not see that he (Yahyaa) said: 'If we had not written the hadeeth 50 times we would not have known it.'"
Siyaru A'laam an-Nubalaa' (11/85)
-3- These numbers also include a number of statements and actions of the Companions (mawqoofaat) and their students (maqtoo'aat).
According to al-Bayhaqee, as quoted by as-Suyootee in Tadreeb ar-Raawee (1/41).
It may also be asked - Is it really possible for one person to memorize hundreds of thousands of narrations?
The answer lies in the early scholars' understanding of the word memorization (hifth). Some of them understood it means word-for-word memorization, while others understood that it includes a man knowing exactly where the narration is found in his book, or that he knows of the narration in a general way. [8]
As explained by Wasee Allaah 'Abbaas in his classes explaining Tadreeb ar-Raawee, which took place in the year 1421 at the Haram in Makkah.
And Allaah knows best.
