Thabit al-Bunani (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I accompanied Sayyiduna Jarir (may Allah be pleased with him), and he used to serve me," even though he was older than Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him). And Sayyiduna Jarir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I saw the Ansar treating the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in such a way (of love and service) that whenever I see any one of them, I come to love him because of it."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Shu'bah except Muhammad."
