It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the muezzin would stand and give the call to Maghrib prayer in the Prophet's Mosque, then after that, whoever wished would perform two rak'ahs until the congregational prayer was established, and whoever wished would perform two rak'ahs and then sit down, and all of this would happen in front of the eyes of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that we used to perform the Maghrib prayer with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), then one of us would go to the people of Banu Salamah and at that time he could clearly see the place where his arrow would fall.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the time for prayer arrived, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was conversing in private with a man in the mosque. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up for prayer, the people had fallen asleep.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) addressed me by saying, "O my beloved son."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade drinking while standing. I asked about eating (while standing), so he said: "That is even more severe than this."

Asim (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I asked Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), "Did the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) declare Madinah Munawwarah as a sanctuary (Haram)?" He replied, "Yes! It is a sanctuary. Allah and His Messenger have declared it a sanctuary. Even its grass cannot be cut. Whoever does so, upon him is the curse of Allah, the angels, and all people."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) liked that the Muhajirun and Ansar stand close to him together in prayer so that they could learn the matters of prayer.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was once praying at night in his chamber, when some people came and joined the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in prayer. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) shortened the prayer and went to his house. This happened several times until morning came. Then the people said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! You were praying; we wished that you would have prolonged it." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "I was aware of your presence, but I deliberately did so."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw some spittle on the direction of the qiblah in the mosque. This thing was so hard on the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that signs of displeasure became evident on his blessed face. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cleaned it and said that when a person stands for prayer, he is conversing with his Lord, so he should spit to his left side or under his foot, and he indicated in such a way that he should take it in his cloth and rub it.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived in Madinah Munawwarah, Hazrat Umm Sulaim (may Allah be pleased with her) took my hand and brought me to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! This is my son and he knows how to write." Thus, I served the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for nine years. Whatever work I did, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) never said to me, "You did badly," or "You did wrong."
