Abu Hurayrah (radiyallaahu-anhu) said: Had it not been for two Aayaat in the Book of Allaah (The Mighty and Majestic), I would not have narrated anything to you. Allaah said:

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَكْتُمُونَ مَا أَنزَلْنَا مِنَ الْبَيِّنَاتِ وَالْهُدَىٰ مِن بَعْدِ مَا بَيَّنَّاهُ لِلنَّاسِ فِي الْكِتَابِ ۙ أُولَٰئِكَ يَلْعَنُهُمُ اللَّهُ وَيَلْعَنُهُمُ اللَّاعِنُونَ

”Verily, those who conceal the clear proofs, evidences and the guidance, which We have sent down, after We have made it clear for the people in the Book, they are the ones cursed by Allah and cursed by the cursers’’ [2:159] and the Ayah after it.  Then he (Abu Hurayrah- radiyallaahu-anhu) said: (However) the people say, ”Indeed Abu Hurayrah (narrates) a lot.”
