'''I used to accompany Allah's Apostle to fill my stomach;''' and that was when I did not eat baked bread, nor wear silk. Neither a male nor a female slave used to serve me, and I used to bind stones over my belly and ask somebody to recite a Quranic Verse for me though I knew it, so that he might take me to his house and feed me. Ja'far bin Abi Talib was very kind to the poor, and he used to take us and feed us with what ever was available in his house, (and if nothing was available), he used to give us the empty (honey or butter) skin which we would tear and lick whatever was in it.}}

So we have the most trusted man in ahadith (Abu Huraira - Father of the Cats) admitting here that the ONLY reason he followed Muhammad around so much (and hence knew a lot of narrations) was ONLY because he was poor, and that if he followed Muhammad he would always be assured of a free meal.
