It is narrated from Thabit Banani that Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, said: I left the presence of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and was heading towards my family. On the way, I passed by some children who were playing. I liked their play, so I stopped there to watch them. While I was still standing there, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, came there. He greeted the children with salam and sent me on an errand. When I completed the task and returned, I reached home a little later than usual. My mother asked me: Son! Why were you late? I replied: Mother! This is a secret matter. She said: Son! Guard the secret of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. Thabit says, I asked: Abu Hamza! Do you still remember that task today? He said: Yes, by Allah, I remember it, but I will not tell. Thabit! If I were to tell anyone among the people, I would have surely told you.
