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, he stayed in the upper part of Madinah in the neighborhood of Banu Amr bin Awf and remained there for fourteen nights. Then he sent for the chiefs of Banu Najjar, who came with their swords hanging by their sides. That scene is still before my eyes: the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was mounted on his ride, Hazrat Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) was behind him, and the people of Banu Najjar were around them, until the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) reached the courtyard of Hazrat Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him). In the beginning, wherever the time for prayer occurred, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would pray there, even in the sheep pens. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered a mosque to be built and called the people of Banu Najjar and said to them, "O Banu Najjar! Settle the price of this garden with me." They replied, "We will take its price only from Allah." At that time, there were some graves of polytheists, a wasteland, and a tree there. At the command of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the graves of the polytheists were dug up, the wasteland was leveled, and the tree was cut down. A tree was planted towards the qiblah side of the mosque, and the doors were made of stone. People would hand bricks to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would say, "O Allah! The real goodness is the goodness of the Hereafter. O Allah! Grant victory to the Ansar and the Muhajirin."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had the best character among all people. I had a brother whose name was Abu Umair. It is also reported that he had been weaned. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would come, he would say to him, "Abu Umair! What happened to the Nughair?"—it was a bird with which he used to play. Sometimes, the time for prayer would come while he was at our house, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would clean the bedding beneath him and order water to be sprinkled on it, and then he would stand for prayer. We would stand behind him, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would lead us in prayer. It should be noted that our bedding was made from palm branches.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that I brought Abdullah, the son of Hazrat Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him), to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). I saw that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was applying tar to his camels. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Do you have anything with you?" I replied, "I have Ajwa dates." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took a date, chewed it in his mouth to soften it, gathered his saliva, and put it into the child's mouth, and the child began to suck it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Dates are the beloved thing of the Ansar." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) named him Abdullah.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When a person from the People of the Book greets you, then just say "Alaikum" in reply.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: People have come to you from Yemen who are more tender-hearted than you, and they are the first people who brought the practice of handshaking with them.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once in the month of Ramadan, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came out and led a short prayer and then left. After quite some time, he came again and led a short prayer and then went back again and stayed inside for a long time. When morning came, we said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! We were present tonight, you came and led a short prayer and then went home for a long time?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "I did so because of you."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Hazrat Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) towards Makkah Mukarramah with Surah Bara’ah, but when he reached near Dhul-Hulaifah, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent word to him that according to the custom of the Arabs, this message can only be delivered by me or a member of my family. Thus, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) with that message.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that upon the death of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), Hazrat Umm Ayman (may Allah be pleased with her) began to weep. Someone asked her, "Why are you weeping over the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?" She replied, "I know that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has departed from this world; I am weeping over the revelation that has ceased."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw some nasal mucus on the Qibla side of the mosque, so he cleaned it with his own hand.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the people of Yemen came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), they requested the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to send a man with them who would teach them the religion. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Hazrat Abu Ubaidah (may Allah be pleased with him) with them and said, "He is the trustworthy one of this Ummah."
