report that ?Umar ibn al-Khattab lashed him, rebuked him, and forbade him from narrating hadith from Muhammad. ?Umar is reported to have said: "Because you narrate hadith in large numbers from the Holy Prophet, you are fit only for attributing lies to him. So you must stop narrating hadith from the Prophet; otherwise, I will send you to the land of Dus." (An Arab clan in Yemen, to which Abu Hurairah belonged.)
