Biography of a Companion: Abu Hurayrah (http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/history/biographies/sahaabah/bio.ABU_HURAYRAH.html)
At the beginning, AbuHuraira is narrating the hadith from the prophet.
The truth was, in any case, that Abuhuraira said something of his own and attached some EXTRA words to a hadith narrated (perhaps) spoken by the prophet.
AbuHuraira was a Jew, became muslim on the day of Khaibar which took place one year after the pledge of Hudaibyia, and spent ONLY three years with the prophet.
AbuHuraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: None of you should use the word al-harin (for grape) for the heart of a believer is karm (worthy of respect).
AbuHuraira reported from Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) various ahadith, one of which is this that he said: None of you should use the word al-karm for 'Inab, for karm (worthy of respect) is a Muslim person.
AbuHuraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: He who is presented with a flower should not reject it, for it is light to carry and pleasant in odour.
