    عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: خَدَمْتُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنَا ابْنُ ثَمَانِ سِنِينَ خَدَمْتُهُ عَشْرَ سِنِينَ فَمَا لَامَنِي عَلَى شَيْءٍ قَطُّ أَتَى فِيهِ عَلَى يَدَيَّ فَإِنْ لَامَنِي لَائِمٌ مِنْ أَهْلِهِ قَالَ: «دَعُوهُ فَإِنَّهُ لَوْ قُضِيَ شَيْءٌ كَانَ» . هَذَا لَفَظُ «الْمَصَابِيحِ» وَرَوَى الْبَيْهَقِيُّ فِي «شُعَبِ الْإِيمَانِ» . مَعَ تَغْيِيرٍ يَسِيرٍ

    Anas said: I served God’s messenger for ten years from the time I was eight years old and he never blamed me for anything which was destroyed at my hand. If any member of his family blamed me, he said, “Leave him alone, for if anything were decreed it would happen.” This is the wording in al-Masabih , and Baihaqi has a slightly different version in Shu’ab al-iman .

    He said: God’s messenger was the best of men, the most generous of men, the bravest of men. One night when the people of Medina were startled and went in the direction of the sound, they were met by the Prophet who had gone in the direction of the sound before them, and he was saying, “You have nothing to fear, you have nothing to fear.” He was on a bare-backed horse with no saddle belonging to Abu Talha and had a sword slung on his neck. He said, “I found it could run like a great river.” (Bukhari and Muslim.)

    Jabir said that when God’s messenger was asked for anything he never said, “No[*].” * Mirqat , 5:388, explains this as meaning that he either gave what was asked or explained why he could not, and refers to Quran, 17:28. (Bukhari and Muslim.)

    وَعَن أنس إِنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسلم غَنَمًا بَيْنَ جَبَلَيْنِ فَأَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ فَأَتَى قَوْمَهُ فَقَالَ: أَي قوم أَسْلمُوا فو الله إِنَّ مُحَمَّدًا لَيُعْطِي عَطَاءً مَا يَخَافُ الْفَقْرَ. رَوَاهُ مُسلم

    Anas told that when a man had asked the Prophet for enough sheep to fill the valley between two mountains and had been given them, he went to his people and said, “Accept Islam, my people, for I swear by God that Muhammad gives gifts to such an extent that there is no fear of poverty[*].” *The translation depends on whether the verb is read as active or passive. The translation above takes it in the passive sense. If it is active, it means that the Prophet does not fear poverty. Muslim transmitted it.

    Jubair b. Mut’im told that while he was travelling along with God’s messenger returning from Hunain the nomadic Arabs persisted in making requests of him till they forced him up against an acacia tree and his cloak was snatched away[*]. The Prophet stopped and said, “Give me my cloak. If I had as many camels and sheep as these thorny trees I would divide them among you, then you would not find me niggardly, or untruthful, or cowardly.” *This means either that it was caught by the tree, or taken by the Arabs. Bukhari transmitted it.

    He told that a woman whose mind was affected said, “Messenger of God, I want something from you[*].” He replied, “Mother of so and so, consider which of the streets you wish so that I may accomplish what you want.” He then went alone with her into a road till she got all she wanted. *Presumably meaning that she wished to speak to him privately about something.

Tirmidhi transmitted it.
