আসুন দেখি কিভাবে উনি এত হাদিস বর্ণনা করেছেন।
প্রথম কারণ:
আবু হুরাইরা(রা.) শেষ তিনটা বছর খেয়ে না খেয়ে রাসূলুল্লাহ(সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়া সাল্লাম) এর দরবারে পড়ে থাকতেন। তিনি ছিলেন আহলে সুফফার একজন। মুহাজিররা যখন বাজারে ব্যস্ত থাকতেন আর আনসাররা যখন নিজেদের সম্পদের দেখাশনা করতেন, তখনও তিনি রাসূলুল্লাহ(সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়া সাল্লাম)এর সাথে লেগে থাকতেন। ফলে অনেক হাদিস যেটা তার পক্ষে শোনা সম্ভব হতো সেটা অনেকের পক্ষেই সম্ভব হতো না। উনি অন্যান্যদের তুলনায় কিভাবে বেশি হাদিস শিখেছেন শুনুন উনার নিজের জবানে:
দ্বিতীয় কারণ:
উনার বিস্ময়কর স্মরণশক্তি, যেটা ছিল আসলে রাসূলুল্লাহ(সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়া সাল্লাম) এর একটি মু’জিজা। একবার উনি স্মরণশক্তির ব্যাপারে অভিযোগ করায় রাসূলুল্লাহ(সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়া সাল্লাম) উনাকে উনার চাদর বিছিয়ে দিতে বলেন, রাসূলুল্লাহ(সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়া সাল্লাম) তাঁর উভয় হাত সেখানে চালনা করে চাদরটিকে জড়িয়ে নিতে বলেন। এরপর থেকে তিনি আর কোন হাদিস ভুলেন নাই।
এই দুটি কারণের ব্যাপারে বিস্তারিতভাবে জানতে নিচের হাদিস দুটি দেখুন:
Bukhari Sharif: Volume 003, Book 034, Hadith Number 263.
Bukhari Sharif: Volume 004, Book 056, Hadith Number 841.
এই দুটো কারণ যদি আমরা বিবেচনা নাও করি তবুও তৃতীয় কারণটিই তার হাদিস সংখ্যা বেশি হবার জন্য যথেষ্ট ছিল।
তৃতীয় কারণ:
উনার ছাত্র সংখ্যা অন্যদের তুলনায় অনেক বেশি ছিল। ফলে উনার একটি বর্ণনা বিভিন্ন সনদে হাদিস সংগ্রাহকদের কাছে এসে অধিক সংখ্যক হাদিসে পরিণত হয়েছে।
[সাধারণভাবে, হাদিস=সনদ(বর্ণনার চেইন)+মতন(মূল বর্ণনা)]
আসুন কিছু বাস্তব উদাহরণ দেখি:

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: Whenever you sight the new moon (of the month of Ramadan) observe fast. and when you sight it (the new moon of Shawwal) break it, and if the sky is cloudy for you, then observe fast for thirty days.

তিন.
৩.১
Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported: Prayer in the mosque of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) is more excellent than a thousand prayers in other mosques except the Masjid al-Haram, for Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) is the last of the Apostles, and his mosque is the last of the mosques. Abu Salama and Abu Abdullah (two of the narrators in this chain of narrations said: We had no doubt that what Abu Haraira (Allah be pleased with him) had said was from Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him), and so we did not like to get an attestation from Abu Huraira about this hadith until Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) died. We discussed it (the issue of getting attestation from Abu Huraira) amongst ourselves and blamed one another as to why we did not talk about it to Abu Huraira regarding it so that he could attribute its transmission to Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) in case he had heard It from him. While we were discussing it as we sat with 'Abdullah b. Ibrahlm b. Qariz; we made a mention of this hadith, and our omission (in getting its attestation) about its direct transmission by Abu Huraira from him (the Holy Proohet) ; thereupon Abdullah b. Ibrahim said to us: I bear witness to the fact that I heard Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) say that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: I am the last of the Apostles and my mosque is the last of the mosques.

আগেই বলেছি, সাধারণভাবে, হাদিস= সনদ(বর্ণনার চেইন/সূত্র)+মতন(বর্ণনা)
নিচে দেখুন আবু হুরাইরা(রা.) কর্তৃক বর্ণিত একটি মাত্র বর্ণনা বিভিন্ন চেইনে আসার ফলে কিভাবে ৬৮টি হাদিসে পরিণত হয়েছে:
★★★ Abu Huraira reported the Prophet saying: (that Almighty Allah has said) Every act of the son of Adam is for him; every good deed will receive tenfold except fasting. It is [exclusively] meant for me, and I [alone] will reward it. He abandons his food for My sake and abandons drinking for My sake and abandons his pleasure for My sake. When any one of you is fasting he should neither indulge in sex nor use obscene language. If anyone reviles him he should say, "I am fasting." The one who fasts has two [occasions] of joy: one when he breaks the fast and one on the day when he will meet his Lord. And the breath [of a fasting person] is sweeter to Allah than the fragrance of musk.
অথচ এই একই বর্ণনা অন্য ৭ জন সাহাবী হতে বিভিন্ন সনদে/চেইনে আসায় মাত্র ১৭টি হাদিসে পরিণত হয়েছে:
কাজেই আবু হুরাইরা(রা.) কর্তৃক বর্ণিত হাদিসের সংখ্যা ৫০০০ বা তার চেয়ে কিছু বেশি হওয়া মোটেই আশ্চর্যজনক কোন বিষয় নয়।
