It is narrated from Hazrat Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to the house of Hazrat Umm Sulaim (may Allah be pleased with her). She presented dates and ghee before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was fasting that day, so he said, "Put the dates in its container and the ghee in its bucket." Then, standing in a corner of the house, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) offered two units of prayer, and we also prayed with him. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed for Hazrat Umm Sulaim (may Allah be pleased with her) and her family. Hazrat Umm Sulaim (may Allah be pleased with her) said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! I have a special thing as well." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, "What is that?" She replied, "Your servant Anas." Upon this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not leave out any good of this world or the Hereafter except that he asked it for me, and he said, "O Allah! Grant him wealth and children, and bless them for him." Consequently, after that, there was no person among the Ansar wealthier than me, although previously he did not own any gold or silver except his ring. And he himself says that my eldest daughter Amina told me that until the coming of Hajjaj bin Yusuf, more than one hundred and twenty people from my descendants had died and been buried.

Humaid says that a person asked Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) whether the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to apply dye. He replied that there were only seventeen or twenty white hairs in the front part of the blessed beard of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and old age did not bring any defect upon him. Someone asked, "Is old age a defect?" He replied, "Each one of you considers it undesirable." However, Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) used to apply a dye of henna and katam, while Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) used only henna as dye.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting in his house when a man came and began to look inside through a hole.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that once Hazrat Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for an animal to ride. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was busy with some work at that time, so he said, "By Allah! I will not give you any ride." But when he (Abu Musa) turned to leave, he was called back and a ride was granted to him. He said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! You had sworn that you would not give me a ride?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, "Now I swear that I will surely give you a ride."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that after the arrival of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in Madinah Munawwarah, Hazrat Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the presence of the Messenger and said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! I will ask you three things which no one knows except a Prophet." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Ask." He said, "What is the very first sign of the Day of Judgment? What will be the very first food of the people of Paradise? And how does a child resemble its parents?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Just now, Jibreel Amin (peace be upon him) has informed me of their answers." Abdullah said, "He is the enemy of the Jews among the angels." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "The very first sign of the Day of Judgment will be a fire that will emerge from the East and gather all the people in the West. The very first food of the people of Paradise will be the liver of fish. As for the resemblance of a child to its parents, if the man's 'fluid' prevails over the woman's fluid, the child is drawn towards him, and if the woman's fluid prevails over the man's, the child is drawn towards her." Upon hearing this, Abdullah said, "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and you are the Messenger of Allah." Then he said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! The Jews are a people who fabricate slanders. If they find out about my acceptance of Islam, they will accuse me of all sorts of things in your presence. Therefore, send for them and ask them about me: 'What kind of man is Ibn Salam among you?'" Accordingly, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent for them and asked, "What kind of man is Abdullah bin Salam among you?" They replied, "He is the best among us and the son of the best, our scholar and the son of a scholar, the greatest jurist among us and the son of the greatest jurist." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Tell me, if he accepts Islam, will you also accept Islam?" They said, "May Allah protect him from that." At this, Hazrat Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) came out and recited the testimony of faith in front of them. Upon hearing this, they said, "He is the worst among us and the son of the worst, the most ignorant among us and the son of the most ignorant." Hazrat Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "This is what I was afraid of."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the day of the Battle of Hunayn, when the Muslims initially suffered defeat and began to flee, Hazrat Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) called out and said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Have those who have deserted us killed." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "O Umm Sulaym! Allah is sufficient." After a short while, Hazrat Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) came to her, and Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) had a spade in her hand. He asked, "Umm Sulaym! What is this?" She replied, "If any polytheist comes near me, I will rip open his belly with it." Upon hearing this, he said, "O Messenger of Allah! Just see what Umm Sulaym is saying."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that after the arrival of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in Madinah Munawwarah, Hazrat Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the presence of the Messenger and said: O Messenger of Allah! I ask you about three things... Then the narrator mentioned the entire hadith.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I was playing with children, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came and greeted us with salam. Then he took my hand and sent me on an errand, and he himself sat in the shade of a wall until I returned and delivered the message with which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had sent me. When I reached home, Umm Sulaim (may Allah be pleased with her) (my mother) asked, "Why were you so late?" I told her that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had sent me on an errand. She asked, "What was the errand?" I said, "It is a secret." She said, "Then protect the secret of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)." Thus, after that, I never disclosed it to anyone.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to a man to accept Islam. He replied, "I do not like it." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Even if you do not like it, still accept Islam."
