Hadith 2309
Anas bin Malik (RA) reported: I served the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) for ten years, and, by Allah, he never said to me any harsh word, and he never said to me about a thing as to why I had done that and as to why I had not done that. Abu Rabi' has made this addition (in this narration): "The work which a servant should do." There is no mention of his words "By Allah".

أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : لَمَّا قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَدِينَةَ ، أَخَذَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ بِيَدِي ، فَانْطَلَقَ بِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : " يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّ أَنَسًا غُلَامٌ كَيِّسٌ ، فَلْيَخْدُمْكَ ، قَالَ : فَخَدَمْتُهُ فِي السَّفَرِ وَالْحَضَرِ ، وَاللَّهِ مَا قَالَ لِي لِشَيْءٍ صَنَعْتُهُ ، لِمَ صَنَعْتَ هَذَا هَكَذَا ، وَلَا لِشَيْءٍ لَمْ أَصْنَعْهُ ، لِمَ لَمْ تَصْنَعْ هَذَا هَكَذَا " .
Anas reported: When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to Madinah, Abu Talha took hold of my hand and brought me to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said: Allah's Messenger, Anas is a prudent young boy, and he will serve you. He (Anas) said: I served him in journey and at home, but, by Allah, he never asked me about a thing which I did as to why I did so, nor about a thing which I did not do as to why I had not done that.
Hadith 2309
Anas reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: I served the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) for nine years, and I do not know (of any instance) when he said to me: Why you have done this and that, and he never found fault with me in anything.

أَنَسٌ : " كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، مِنْ أَحْسَنِ النَّاسِ خُلُقًا ، فَأَرْسَلَنِي يَوْمًا لِحَاجَةٍ ، فَقُلْتُ : وَاللَّهِ لَا أَذْهَبُ وَفِي نَفْسِي أَنْ أَذْهَبَ ، لِمَا أَمَرَنِي بِهِ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَخَرَجْتُ حَتَّى أَمُرَّ عَلَى صِبْيَانٍ وَهُمْ يَلْعَبُونَ فِي السُّوقِ ، فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَدْ قَبَضَ بِقَفَايَ مِنْ وَرَائِي ، قَالَ : فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهِ وَهُوَ يَضْحَكُ ، فَقَالَ : يَا أُنَيْسُ ، أَذَهَبْتَ حَيْثُ أَمَرْتُكَ ، قَالَ ، قُلْتُ : نَعَمْ ، أَنَا أَذْهَبُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ،
Anas reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had the best disposition amongst people. He sent me on an errand one day, and I said: By Allah, I would not go. I had, however, this idea in my mind that I would do as Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) had commanded me to do. I went out until I happened to come across children who had been playing in the street. In the meanwhile, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came there and he caught me by the back of my neck from behind me. As I looked towards him I found him smiling and he said: Anas, did you go where I commanded you to go? I said: Allah's Messenger, yes, I am going.
Hadith 2309
قَالَ أَنَسٌ : " وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ خَدَمْتُهُ تِسْعَ سِنِينَ ، مَا عَلِمْتُهُ قَالَ لِشَيْءٍ صَنَعْتُهُ ، لِمَ فَعَلْتَ كَذَا وَكَذَا ، أَوْ لِشَيْءٍ تَرَكْتُهُ ، هَلَّا فَعَلْتَ كَذَا وَكَذَا " .
Anas further said: I served him for nine years but I know not that he ever said to me about a thing which I had done why I did that, or about a thing I had left as to why I had not done that.
Hadith 2310
