Three-Narrator Ahadith 83
Ismāʻīl narrated to us:
ʻAbd al-ʻAzīz ibn Ṣuhayb narrated to us, from Anas ibn Mālik, who said, “When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to Madīnah, Abū Ṭalḥah took me by the hand and brought me to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, ‘Messenger of Allah, Anas is a clever boy; let him serve you.’ So I served him at home and on journeys. By Allah, he never once said to me about something I had done, ‘Why did you do this?’ nor about something I had left undone, ‘Why did you not do that?’” Reference: Musnad Aḥmad 83
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ صُهَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: لَمَّا قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ، أَخَذَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ بِيَدِي، فَانْطَلَقَ بِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّ أَنَسًا غُلَامٌ كَيِّسٌ فَلْيَخْدُمْكَ. قَالَ: فَخَدَمْتُهُ فِي السَّفَرِ وَالْحَضَرِ وَاللَّهِ مَا قَالَ لِي لِشَيْءٍ صَنَعْتُهُ: لِمَ صَنَعْتَ هَذَا هَكَذَا؟ وَلَا لِشَيْءٍ لَمْ أَصْنَعْهُ: لِمَ لَمْ تَصْنَعْ هَذَا هَكَذَا؟
