حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّی حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْحَارِثِ حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ قَالَ قَالَ أَنَسٌ انْتَهَی إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنَا غُلَامٌ فِي الْغِلْمَانِ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْنَا ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِيَدِي فَأَرْسَلَنِي بِرِسَالَةٍ وَقَعَدَ فِي ظِلِّ جِدَارٍ أَوْ قَالَ إِلَی جِدَارٍ حَتَّی رَجَعْتُ إِلَيْهِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 5203
Narrated Anas ibn Malik: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us when I was a boy among the boys. He saluted us and took me by my hand. He then sent me with some message. He himself sat in the shadow of a wall, or he said: near a wall until I returned to him.
