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 Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), who says: My uncle, Sayyiduna Anas bin Nadr (may Allah be pleased with him), was not present with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on the day of Badr. My name, Anas, was also given after this uncle. He was very grieved about this and used to say: Badr was the first battle in which the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was present, and I could not be present. If Allah Almighty gives me the opportunity of another battle, He will see what I do. Then he became afraid to make any further claim. Then Sayyiduna Anas bin Nadr participated with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on the day of Uhud. Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Mu’adh (may Allah be pleased with him) was coming forward. Sayyiduna Anas bin Nadr said to him: Abu Amr! Where are you going? He replied: Ah, I am sensing the fragrance of Paradise from the direction of Uhud. Then Sayyiduna Anas continued fighting until he was martyred. His body had more than eighty (80) wounds from swords, spears, and arrows. Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) says: His sister, that is, my paternal aunt, Rubayyi’ bint Nadr (may Allah be pleased with her), recognized her brother by his fingertips, that this was her brother. Then this verse was revealed: {رِجَالٌ صَدَقُوْا مَا عَاہَدُوا اللّٰہَ عَلَیْہِ فَمِنْہُمْ مَنْ قَضٰی نَحْبَہُ وَمِنْہُمْ مَنْ یَنْتَظِرُ وَمَا بَدَّلُوْا تَبْدِیلًا} … Among the believers are men who have been true to their covenant with Allah; some of them have fulfilled their vow, and some of them are still waiting, but they have never changed in the least. The Companions believed that this verse was revealed about Sayyiduna Anas bin Nadr (may Allah be pleased with him) and his companions (such as Sayyiduna Hamza, may Allah be pleased with him).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Shall I not tell you about the people of Hell and the people of Paradise? The people of Paradise are: every weak person, who is considered weak, disheveled-haired, and one who wears two worn-out old garments, (but in the sight of Allah Almighty, he is so esteemed that) if he swears an oath by Allah Almighty, He fulfills his oath. And the people of Hell are: every ill-tempered (and bad-natured) person, one who walks arrogantly, one who amasses a great deal of wealth and is extremely miserly, and one whom others follow.
