Rawh narrated to us: Hisham ibn Abi Abdullah narrated to us from Qatadah, from Anas with similar wording. He said: And Qatadah used to mention this hadith when he was asked about this verse: "Do not ask about things which, if they are shown to you, will distress you." (Al-Ma'idah: 101)

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The supplication made between the call to prayer (Adhan) and the commencement (Iqamah) is not rejected.

Mus'ab bin Thabit, may Allah have mercy on him, says that there was a wooden post at the place where the Imam stands in the Prophet's Mosque. We tried very hard to find out something about it from someone, but we could not find a single person who could tell us anything about it. Coincidentally, Muhammad bin Muslim, the owner of the Maqsura, told me that one day Hazrat Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, was sitting with me. He said, "Do you know why this wooden post was placed here?" I had not asked him this question. I replied, "By Allah! I do not know why it was placed here." He said, "The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, used to place his right hand on it and turn towards us and say, 'Straighten up and align your rows.'"

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that Hazrat Bara bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) used to chant the camel-driving songs for the men with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and Anjasha (may Allah be pleased with him) for the women. Anjasha had a very beautiful voice. When he started chanting, the camels began to run swiftly. Upon this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Anjasha! Drive gently with the glass vessels."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Paradise has been surrounded by hardships and Hell has been surrounded by desires.

Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) regarding Hazrat Umar bin Abdul Aziz (may Allah have mercy on him), "when he was in Madinah Munawwarah," used to say: I have not seen anyone who performed prayer resembling the prayer of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) more than your Imam. Hazrat Umar bin Abdul Aziz (may Allah have mercy on him) used to lead a complete and concise prayer.

Marwan bin Abi Dawood, may Allah have mercy on him, says that once I came to Hazrat Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, and said, "O Abu Hamza! The place is far, but our heart desires to come to visit you." Upon this, he raised his head and said, "I heard the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, say: Whoever visits a sick person, he dives into the ocean of Allah's mercy, and when he sits by the patient, Allah's mercy covers him." I asked, "O Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him! This is the ruling for the healthy person who visits the sick; what is the ruling for the patient?" The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "His sins are forgiven."

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 a word that is not heard, a deed that is not elevated, a heart devoid of humility, and knowledge that is of no benefit.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that I had the honor of serving the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for ten years, in travel and at home. It was not necessary that every action of mine would please the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) never even said "uff" to me. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) never said to me, "Why did you do this?" or "Why did you not do this?"

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that I have attended such a wedding feast of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in which there was neither bread nor meat.
