بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِي ذِكْرِ بَعْض خَدَمِهِ ﷺ مِنْهُمْ أَنَّسُ بِنْ مَالِكِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُChapter on What Has Been Reported Regarding Some of His ﷺ Servants, Among Them Anas ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him)
Hadith 11489
اُردوEn
عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ خَدَمْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَشْرَ سِنِينَ فَمَا أَمَرَنِي بِأَمْرٍ فَتَوَانَيْتُ عَنْهُ أَوْ ضَيَّعْتُهُ فَلَامَنِي فَإِنْ لَامَنِي أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ إِلَّا قَالَ ”دَعُوهُ فَلَوْ قُدِّرَ“ أَوْ قَالَ ”لَوْ قُضِيَ أَنْ يَكُونَ كَانَ“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I served the Noble Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for ten years. (In one narration, nine years are mentioned.) Whatever command the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave me, and then if I was negligent or made a mistake in that matter, and if anyone from the household of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said anything harsh to me, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would say: Leave him alone, if it was destined to happen, it would have happened.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … When any harm occurred through Sayyiduna Anas radi Allahu anhu, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would attribute it to divine decree (taqdeer) and thus comfort the child.
During the long period of ten years, the Noble Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam never even reproached the child who served him—Subhan Allah! This was an aspect of the forbearance of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. In fact, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would even forgive those thirsty for his blood and his enemies. Now, the point worthy of reflection is: what is our own conduct towards our servants and workers?
