Saeed bin Yazid, may Allah have mercy on him, says that I asked Hazrat Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, whether the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, used to begin the recitation with "Bismillah" or with "Alhamdulillah"? He replied, "You have asked me a question about which no one has asked me before."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we went out from Madinah Munawwarah with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) continued to perform two rak'ahs (for prayers) until the return. The narrator says that I asked Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) how many days did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stay during this journey? He replied: ten days.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when Hazrat Abdur Rahman bin Auf (may Allah be pleased with him) came to Madinah Munawwarah, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) established brotherhood between him and Hazrat Sa’d bin Rabi’ (may Allah be pleased with him). Hazrat Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) said,“I will divide all my wealth into two parts, and I have two wives; I will divorce one of them, and when her waiting period is over, you may marry her.”Hazrat Abdur Rahman (may Allah be pleased with him) replied,“May Allah bless your wealth and your family for you. Just show me the way to the market.”So he showed Hazrat Abdur Rahman bin Auf (may Allah be pleased with him) the way. He went, and when he returned, he had some cheese and ghee which he had saved as profit. After some time, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) saw Hazrat Abdur Rahman bin Auf (may Allah be pleased with him) and there were yellow marks on him. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked,“What are these marks?”He replied,“I have married an Ansari woman.”The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked,“How much dowry did you give?”He replied,“Gold equal to the weight of a date stone.”The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said,“Give a wedding feast, even if it is only with one goat.”

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the people of Banu Hawazin brought children, women, camels, and goats with them in the Battle of Hunayn. They made all of them stand in different rows to show their large numbers. When the battle started, the Muslims turned their backs and fled, as Allah Almighty has mentioned. At this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called out to the Muslims, "O servants of Allah! I am the servant and Messenger of Allah (here). O group of Ansar! I am the servant and Messenger of Allah (here)." After that, Allah granted victory to the Muslims and defeat to the disbelievers. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) announced that day that whoever kills a disbeliever, all his belongings will go to the one who killed him. Accordingly, Hazrat Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) killed twenty disbelievers that day and took their belongings. Similarly, Hazrat Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) submitted in the presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "O Messenger of Allah! I struck a man on the rope of his shoulder; he was wearing armor. I managed to overpower him with great difficulty and saved my life. Please find out who has taken his belongings?" A man stood up and said, "I have taken those belongings, O Messenger of Allah! Please make him pleased with me on my behalf and give those belongings to me." The blessed habit of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was that if someone asked for something, he would give it or remain silent. On this occasion, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) remained silent, but Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "By Allah! It cannot happen that Allah gives the spoils of war to one of His lions and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gives them to you." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) smiled and said, "Umar is telling the truth." In the Battle of Hunayn itself, Hazrat Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) had a dagger with her. Hazrat Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) asked her, "What is this with you?" She said, "I have kept this with me so that if any polytheist comes near me, I will rip open his belly with it." Hazrat Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) submitted in the court of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "O Messenger of Allah! Did you hear what Umm Sulaym said?" Then she said, "O Messenger of Allah! Those people who ran away leaving you, have them killed." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Umm Sulaym! Allah Himself has sufficed for us and dealt well with us."

The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain of transmission.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to visit Hazrat Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her). She had a small son whose name was Abu Umair. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him, "O Abu Umair! What happened to the Nughair?" It was a small bird with which he used to play. Sometimes, when the time for prayer would come, Hazrat Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) would spread a prayer mat for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), upon which he would sprinkle water and then perform the prayer.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once, during the night, Hazrat Usaid bin Hudair (may Allah be pleased with him) and another companion were sitting with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) discussing some matter. During this, a large part of the night passed and it was very dark. When they left the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to go home, one of them had a staff in his hand. The staff of one of the men became illuminated, and they began to walk in its light. When both of them separated to go their own ways, the staff of the other man also became illuminated.
