Hadith 966

حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ شَيْبَةَ، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُبَاتَةَ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ وَرْدَانَ قَالَ‏:‏ رَأَيْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يُصَافِحُ النَّاسَ، فَسَأَلَنِي‏:‏ مَنْ أَنْتَ‏؟‏ فَقُلْتُ‏:‏ مَوْلًى لِبَنِي لَيْثٍ، فَمَسَحَ عَلَى رَأْسِي ثَلاَثًا وَقَالَ‏:‏ بَارَكَ اللَّهُ فِيكَ‏.
It is narrated from Salamah bin Wardaan (may Allah have mercy on him) that I saw Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) shaking hands with people, so he asked me: Who are you? I replied: The freed slave of Banu Laith. He passed his hand over my head three times and said: May Allah bless you.
