It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) visited Sayyidah Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her). She presented dates and ghee to him, but the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was fasting that day, so he said: "Put the dates back in their pouch and the ghee back in its container." After that, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood in a corner of the house and performed two rak‘ahs, and we also prayed with him. Then he supplicated for blessings for Sayyidah Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) and her family. Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "O Messenger of Allah! I have a special request." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What is it?" She said: "This is your servant, Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him); please make a special supplication for him." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated for every good of this world and the Hereafter for me and said: "O Allah! Grant him abundant wealth and children, and bless him in them." Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) stated that among all the Ansar, no one had more wealth than him, while previously he only had a ring, and his eldest daughter Amina reported that Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) had, with his own hands, buried about one hundred and twenty-five or twenty-six of his children before the coming of Hajjaj bin Yusuf.

It is narrated from Sayyida Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) that she submitted: O Messenger of Allah! This Anas is your servant, please supplicate to Allah for him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated thus: O Allah! Increase him in wealth and children, and bless him in whatever You grant him. The narrator of the hadith, Hajjaj, mentioned in his narration that Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) informed that some of his children told him that more than one hundred people from his children and grandchildren had been buried.

Sayyiduna Anas bin Sirin narrates that in both travel and residence, Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) was the most beautiful performer of prayer.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived in Madinah Munawwarah (after migration), Sayyiduna Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) took my hand and brought me to the service of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) is an intelligent and clever child; let him serve you. Thus, I (Anas) served the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for ten years during travel and at home. By Allah! If I did something, he never said to me, "Why did you do this?" And if I did not do something, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) never said to me, "Why did you not do it this way?"

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived in Madinah Munawwarah, my mother, Sayyidah Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her), took me by the hand and brought me to the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! My son knows how to read and write. (Please accept him for your service.) Thus, I served you for nine years. If I ever did anything, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) never said to me that you have done a bad thing, or you have done a wrong thing.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that I have given the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) honey, water, and milk, in fact every kind of drink, from my this cup.

It is narrated from Thabit Banani that Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, said: I left the presence of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and was heading towards my family. On the way, I passed by some children who were playing. I liked their play, so I stopped there to watch them. While I was still standing there, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, came there. He greeted the children with salam and sent me on an errand. When I completed the task and returned, I reached home a little later than usual. My mother asked me: Son! Why were you late? I replied: Mother! This is a secret matter. She said: Son! Guard the secret of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. Thabit says, I asked: Abu Hamza! Do you still remember that task today? He said: Yes, by Allah, I remember it, but I will not tell. Thabit! If I were to tell anyone among the people, I would have surely told you.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, who says: When the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, arrived in Madinah Munawwarah, I was ten years old, and when the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, passed away, I was twenty years old.

It is narrated from Humaid that the age of Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) was ninety-nine years.
