Qatadah (may Allah have mercy on him) says that we used to visit Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), and he had a baker appointed for him. One day he said to us: "Eat, but to my knowledge, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) never saw fine bread with his own eyes, nor did he ever eat a whole roasted goat, until he met Allah."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade three things: visiting graveyards, eating the meat of sacrifice after three days, and drinking nabidh (fermented drink) in dubba, naqir, hantam, and muzaffat vessels. Then, after some time had passed, he said: I had previously forbidden you from three things, but now my opinion about them has become clear. I had forbidden you from visiting graveyards, but now my opinion is that it softens the heart, brings tears to the eyes, and reminds one of the Hereafter, so visit the graveyards, but do not indulge in idle talk. Similarly, I had forbidden you from eating the meat of sacrifice after three days, but now my opinion is that people give this meat as gifts to their guests and keep it stored for those who are absent, so you may keep it for as long as you wish. Also, I had forbidden you from drinking nabidh in those vessels, but now you may drink from whichever vessel you wish, but do not drink anything intoxicating. Now, whoever wishes, let him seal the mouth of his waterskin against anything sinful.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went to visit a Bedouin who had a fever.

The Bedouin replied, "No, this is a raging fever that has come upon an old man and will not leave him until it shows him his grave." Upon hearing this, the Prophet (peace be upon him) left him and stood up.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when fragrance was presented to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace be upon him) would not refuse it.
