We were with Abu Hurairah, and he had on two linen garments dyed with red ochre. He blew his nose and said, "Bravo, bravo, Abu Hurairah blows his nose into linen! There was a time when you would see me collapsed between the pulpit of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the chamber of Ayesha, unconscious. Someone would come along and place his foot on my neck, thinking I was mad, but it was not madness. It was nothing but hunger."
