Mukhtasar Muslim

Thabit narrates from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I was playing with (my peers) children when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me, he greeted us with salam and sent me for some task. I went late to my mother, so my mother asked, "Why were you late?" I said, "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me for a task." She said, "What was the task?" I said, "It is a secret." My mother said, "Do not disclose the secret of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to anyone." Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "By Allah, if I were to tell that secret to anyone, O Thabit! I would have told you."
