Narrated by Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him): The women of the Ansar came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and with them was a child of theirs. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) spoke to them and then said: By Him in Whose hand is my soul, you people are the most beloved to me. He said this sentence twice.
