أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا رَوْحٌ ، عَنْ كَهْمَسِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ ، قَالَ : جَاءَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ إِلَى كَعْبٍ يَسْأَلُ عَنْهُ، وَكَعْبٌ فِي الْقَوْمِ، فَقَالَ كَعْبٌ : مَا تُرِيدُ مِنْهُ؟ فَقَالَ : أَمَا إِنِّي لَا أَعْرِفُ لِأَحَدٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَكُونَ أَحْفَظَ لِحَدِيثِهِ مِنِّي، فَقَالَ كَعْبٌ :" أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَنْ تَجِدَ طَالِبَ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا سَيَشْبَعُ مِنْهُ يَوْمًا مِنْ الدَّهْرِ، إِلَّا طَالِبَ عِلْمٍ أَوْ طَالِبَ دُنْيَا "، فَقَالَ : أَنْتَ كَعْبٌ؟، قَالَ : نَعَمْ، قَالَ : لِمِثْلِ هَذَا جِئْتُ

Muhammad ibn Abdullah informed us, a spirit informed us, on the authority of Kahmas ibn al-Hasan, on the authority of Abdullah ibn Shaqiq, he said: Abu Hurairah came May God be pleased with him, he went to Ka'b asking about him, and Ka'b was among the people, and Ka'b said: What do you want from him? He said: I do not know of any of the Companions of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, to have a better memory of his hadith than me. So Ka’b said: “As for You will never find a seeker of anything but he will be satisfied with it one day in the course of eternity, unless he is a seeker of knowledge or a seeker of the world.” He said: Are you Ka’b? He said: Yes, he said: This is why I came.
