It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that one day the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned towards us after finishing the prayer and said: Indeed, I see you from in front of me as well as from behind me. By the One in Whose hand is my soul, if you had seen what I have seen, you would laugh little and weep much. The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! What have you seen?" He replied, "I have seen Paradise and Hell with my own eyes." O people! I am your Imam, so do not go ahead of me in bowing, prostration, standing, sitting, or finishing (the prayer), for I see you from in front of me as well as from behind me.

Ali bin Zaid says that something happened between Mus'ab bin Zubair and a chief of the Ansar, because of which Mus'ab intended to question him. In the meantime, Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) arrived there and said, "I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Act upon the advice to treat the Ansar well, accept the good deeds of their righteous ones, and overlook the faults of their sinners.'" Upon hearing this, Mus'ab threw himself onto the couch, placed his cheek on the pillow, and said, "The command of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is upon my eyes and head," and he let the matter go, saying this.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once a man addressed the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O our master, son of our master! O our best, son of our best!" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "O people! Make piety obligatory upon yourselves, lest Satan attack you. I am only Muhammad bin Abdullah, Allah's servant and His messenger. By Allah! I do not like that you exaggerate my status beyond what it is with Allah."

The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain of transmission.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that some Jews once came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and, while greeting, said "As-Saam Alaikum" (death be upon you). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also replied, "As-Saam Alaikum." Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), hearing this phrase of the Jews from behind, said, "O brothers of apes and swine! Death (sam), and the curse and wrath of Allah be upon you." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) advised Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) to remain calm. She submitted, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Did you not hear what they said?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Aisha! Did you not hear what I replied to them? Gentleness, whenever it is present in something, adorns it, and whenever it is taken away from something, it makes it defective."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were on a journey with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) listened attentively and heard a man saying "Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "He is upon sound nature (fitrah)." Then when he said, "Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah," the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "You have been saved from the fire of Hell."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would find a date lying on the road, and if he did not fear that it might be from charity, he would eat it.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that one of the group of the companions (may Allah be pleased with them) of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "I will never get married," another said, "I will pray all night and avoid sleeping," and the third said, "I will always fast and never miss a day." When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) learned of this, he said, "What is wrong with people that they say such things? I fast and also leave fasting, I pray and I also sleep, and I also marry women. So whoever turns away from my Sunnah is not from me."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I was sitting in the gathering of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when a man passed by. Someone among those sitting said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! I love this person." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him, "Have you told him this?" He replied, "No." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Then go and tell him." So that man stood up, went to him and said, "Brother! I love you for the sake of Allah." He replied, "May He for whose sake you love me, love you in return."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicating for rain, spreading his hands with the upper part of his palms facing towards the sky while making supplication.
