Musnad of Anas bin Malik
Musnad Abi Ya'la 2992 — he said: I served the Messenger of Allah ﷺ
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْأَبَحُّ ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : خَدَمْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عَشْرَ سِنِينَ ، لَمْ يَقُلْ لِشَيْءٍ فَعَلْتُهُ : لِمَ فَعَلْتَهُ ؟ وَلَا لِشَيْءٍ لَمْ أَفْعَلْهُ : أَلَا فَعَلْتَهُ ؟ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "I served the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for ten years, and (in this long period) he (peace and blessings be upon him) never said about anything I had done: Why did you do it? Nor did he ever say about anything I had not done: Why did you not do it?"
