حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ کَثِيرٍ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَدِينَةَ لَيْسَ لَهُ خَادِمٌ فَأَخَذَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ بِيَدِي فَانْطَلَقَ بِي إِلَی رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَنَسًا غُلَامٌ کَيِّسٌ فَلْيَخْدُمْکَ قَالَ فَخَدَمْتُهُ فِي السَّفَرِ وَالْحَضَرِ مَا قَالَ لِي لِشَيْئٍ صَنَعْتُهُ لِمَ صَنَعْتَ هَذَا هَکَذَا وَلَا لِشَيْئٍ لَمْ أَصْنَعْهُ لِمَ لَمْ تَصْنَعْ هَذَا هَکَذَا
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 2768
Narrated Anas: When Allah's Apostle came to Medina; he did not have any servant. Abu Talha (Anas' step-father) took me to Allah's Apostle and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Anas is a wise boy, so let him serve you." So, I served him at home and on journeys. If I did anything, he never asked me why I did it, and if I refrained from doing anything, he never asked me why I refrained from doing it.
