It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was going somewhere with some of his companions (may Allah be pleased with them). On the way, there was a child lying on the ground. When his mother saw the people, she feared that the child might be trampled under their feet, so she ran, crying out, "My son, my son," and picked him up. The people said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! This woman could never throw her son into the fire." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) silenced them and said, "Allah will also never throw His friend into the fire."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a man walking while taking support on the shoulders of his two sons. He asked, "What is the matter with him?" They informed him that he had vowed to perform Hajj on foot. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Allah is free from need of this man putting himself in hardship." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered him to ride, so he rode.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I was playing with children, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came and greeted us, then he took my hand and sent me for some task, and he himself sat in the shade of a wall until I returned and delivered the message with which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had sent me. When I reached home, Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) (my mother) asked, "Why did you take so long?" I told her that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had sent me for some task. She asked, "What was the task?" I said, "It is a secret." She said, "Then protect the secret of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)." Thus, after that, I never disclosed it to anyone.

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, he found that there were two days in which the people used to celebrate festivals since the days of ignorance.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once Hazrat Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for an animal to ride. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was occupied with some work at that time, so he said, "By Allah! I will not give you any ride." But when he turned to leave, he was called back and a ride was granted to him. He said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! You had sworn that you would not give me a ride?" The Prophet replied, "Now I swear that I will surely give you a ride."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to supplicate: O Allah! I seek refuge in You from laziness, old age, cowardice, miserliness, the trial of Dajjal, and the punishment of the grave.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that someone asked Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) about the night prayer and voluntary fasts of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He replied that whenever we wished to see the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) praying at night, we could see him, and whenever we intended to see him sleeping, we could also see that. Similarly, in some months, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would fast so continuously that we would think he would not leave any fast, and at other times he would leave fasting to the extent that we would say perhaps now the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) will not fast anymore.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that a person asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about "Kawthar." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said that it is the name of a river which my Lord has granted me. Its soil is musk, its water is whiter than milk and sweeter than honey, and in it there will be birds with necks like camels. Hazrat Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Then those birds will be very healthy." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Those who eat them will be even healthier than them."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If the son of Adam had two valleys full of gold, he would desire a third one, and nothing fills the mouth of the son of Adam except the dust of the grave. And whoever repents, Allah accepts his repentance.
