مُسْنَدُ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ خَادِمِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ
Three-Narrator Ahadith 144
Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ visited Umm Sulaym, and she brought him dates and ghee. As he was fasting, he said, “Return your dates to their container and your ghee to its vessel.” He then went to a corner of the house and offered two voluntary rakʿahs, and we prayed with him. Afterward he supplicated for Umm Sulaym and her household with every good. Umm Sulaym said, “O Messenger of Allah, I have a small private request.” He said, “What is it?” She said, “Your servant Anas.” Anas reported: He left no good of the hereafter or of this world without supplicating to Allah to grant it to me, saying: “O Allah, grant him wealth and children, and bless him therein.” “So there was no one among the Anṣār wealthier than I.” He [Anas] also mentioned that he did not possess any gold or silver apart from his [silver] ring. He also mentioned that his eldest daughter Umaynah informed him that more than one hundred and twenty of his direct descendants had been buried by the time al-Ḥajjāj arrived in Baṣrah.

Musnad Aḥmad 144
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى أُمِّ سُلَيْمٍ، فَأَتَتْهُ بِتَمْرٍ وَسَمْنٍ، وَكَانَ صَائِمًا، فَقَالَ: «أَعِيدُوا تَمْرَكُمْ فِي وِعَائِهِ وَسَمْنَكُمْ فِي سِقَائِهِ». ثُمَّ قَامَ إِلَى نَاحِيَةِ الْبَيْتِ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ، وَصَلَّيْنَا مَعَهُ، ثُمَّ دَعَا لِأُمِّ سُلَيْمٍ وَلِأَهْلِهَا بِخَيْرٍ. فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّ لِي خُوَيْصَّةً. قَالَ: «مَا هِيَ؟» قَالَتْ: خَادِمُكَ أَنَسٌ. فَمَا تَرَكَ خَيْرَ آخِرَةٍ وَلَا دُنْيَا إِلَّا دَعَا لِي بِهِ، وَقَالَ: «اللَّهُمَّ ارْزُقْهُ مَالًا وَوَلَدًا وَبَارِكْ لَهُ فِيهِ». قَالَ: فَمَا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ إِنْسَانٌ أَكْثَرُ مَالًا مِنِّي. وَذَكَرَ أَنَّهُ لَا يَمْلِكُ ذَهَبًا وَلَا فِضَّةً غَيْرَ خَاتَمِهِ. وَذَكَرَ أَنَّ ابْنَتَهُ الْكُبْرَى أُمَيْنَةَ أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّهُ دُفِنَ مِنْ صُلْبِهِ إِلَى مَقْدَمِ الْحَجَّاجِ نَيِّفًا عَلَى عِشْرِينَ وَمِائَةٍ.

Chain: Aḥmad → Muḥammad ibn Abī ʿAdiyy → Ḥumayd al-Ṭawīl → Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) → the Prophet ﷺ. Rijāl: (1) Muḥammad ibn Abī ʿAdiyy al-Sulamī al-Baṣrī: thiqa thabt, d. 194 AH. (2) Ḥumayd al-Ṭawīl al-Baṣrī: thiqa, d. 142 AH. (3) Anas ibn Mālik: Companion, d. ca. 93 AH. Takhrīj: Al-Bukhārī (6344) and (6345); Muslim (2480); Aḥmad (12053). Al-Ḥajjāj ibn Yūsuf al-Thaqafī (d. 95 AH / 714 CE) was the Umayyad governor of Iraq; his arrival in Baṣrah therefore falls within the last years of Anas, who died ca. 93 AH. The report is among the clearest attestations of a prophetic supplication fulfilled in the lifetime of the one for whom it was made, and Anas would recall it in his old age when speaking of his wealth and progeny. The word khuwayṣṣa, a diminutive, conveys the modesty with which Umm Sulaym framed her request. The Prophet's ﷺ declining of the food, followed by prayer in the house, also furnishes evidence for the voluntary prayer offered in a host's home as a form of blessing upon it.
