Hadith 13657
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، أَخْبَرَنَا ثَابِتٌ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ وَهُوَ يَسْلُتُ الدَّمَ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ : " كَيْفَ يُفْلِحُ قَوْمٌ شَجُّوا نَبِيَّهُمْ ، وَكَسَرُوا رَبَاعِيَتَهُ ، وَهُوَ يَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى اللَّهِ ؟ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ : لَيْسَ لَكَ مِنَ الأَمْرِ شَيْءٌ أَوْ يَتُوبَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَوْ يُعَذِّبَهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ ظَالِمُونَ سورة آل عمران آية 128 " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the day of the Battle of Uhud, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was wiping blood from his face and said, "How can a people prosper who wound their Prophet and break his teeth, while he is calling them towards their Lord?" Upon this, the following verse was revealed: "You have no authority in the matter, whether Allah turns to them or punishes them, for they are wrongdoers."
Hadith 13658
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا ثَابِتٌ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، أَنّ " أَنَسَ بْنَ النَّضْرِ تَغَيَّبَ عَنْ قِتَالِ بَدْرٍ ، فَقَالَ : تَغَيَّبْتُ عَنْ أَوَّلِ مَشْهَدٍ شَهِدَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، لَئِنْ رَأَيْتُ قِتَالًا ، لَيَرَيَنَّ اللَّهُ مَا أَصْنَعُ ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ أُحُدٍ ، انْهَزَمَ أَصْحَابُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أَقْبَلَ أَنَسٌ ، فَرَأَى سَعْدَ بْنَ مُعَاذٍ مُنْهَزِمًا ، فَقَالَ : يَا أَبَا عَمْروٍ ، أَيْنَ ؟ أَيْنَ ؟ قُمْ ، فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ ، إِنِّي لَأَجِدُ رِيحَ الْجَنَّةِ دُونَ أُحُدٍ ، فَحَمَلَ حَتَّى قُتِلَ ، فَقَالَ سَعْدُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ : فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ ، مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ مَا اسْتَطَاعَ ، فَقَالَتْ أُخْتُهُ : فَمَا عَرَفْتُ أَخِي إِلَّا بِبَنَانِهِ ، وَلَقَدْ كَانَتْ فِيهِ بِضْعٌ وَثَمَانُونَ ضَرْبَةً ، مِنْ بَيْنِ ضَرْبَةٍ بِسَيْفٍ ، وَرَمْيَةٍ بِسَهْمٍ ، وَطَعْنَةٍ بِرُمْحٍ ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فِيهِ : رِجَالٌ صَدَقُوا مَا عَاهَدُوا اللَّهَ عَلَيْهِ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ وَمَا بَدَّلُوا تَبْدِيلا سورة الأحزاب آية 23 " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that my name was given after my uncle Anas bin Nadr, who could not participate in the Battle of Badr with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he regretted it. He used to say that I could not participate in the first battle with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), but if now Allah gives me the opportunity to go in any battle with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), then Allah will see what I do. Thus, he participated in the Battle of Uhud with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). In the battlefield, he saw Hazrat Sa’d bin Mu’adh (may Allah be pleased with him) coming from in front of him. He said to him, "Abu Amr! Where are you going? By Allah! I can smell the fragrance of Paradise from behind Uhud." Saying this, he fought so bravely that he was eventually martyred, and more than eighty marks of spears, swords, and arrows were found on his body. His sister and my paternal aunt, Hazrat Rubai’ bint Nadr, says that I could only recognize my brother by his fingertips. And in this context, this verse was revealed: "Among the believers are men who have been true to their covenant with Allah; some of them have fulfilled their vow, and some are still waiting." The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) believed that this verse was revealed about Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) and other companions like him.
Hadith 13659
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا ثَابِتٌ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، أَنَّ الْعَضْبَاءَ كَانَتْ لَا تُسْبَقُ ، فَجَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ عَلَى قَعُودٍ لَهُ ، فَسَابَقَهَا ، فَسَبَقَهَا الْأَعْرَابِيُّ ، فَكَأَنَّ ذَلِكَ اشْتَدَّ عَلَى أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّ حَقًّا عَلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ لَا يَرْفَعَ شَيْئًا مِنْ هَذِهِ الدُّنْيَا ، إِلَّا وَضَعَهُ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had a she-camel named "Adhba" which had never been left behind by anyone. Once, a Bedouin came on his camel and surpassed her. This was very hard on the Muslims. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) noticed the expressions on their faces. Then the people themselves said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Adhba has been left behind." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "It is Allah's right that whatever He raises in this world, He also lowers it."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: On the Day of Resurrection, a man from among the people of Hell will be brought who had lived in great luxuries in the world. He will be dipped once in Hell, then it will be asked: O son of Adam! Have you ever seen any good? Has any blessing ever passed by you? He will say: By my Lord! I swear, never. After that, a man from among the people of Paradise will be brought who had lived in great hardships in the world. He will be dipped once in Paradise, and then it will be asked: O son of Adam! Have you ever seen any distress? Has any hardship ever passed by you? He will say: By my Lord! I swear, never. No distress has ever come to me and I have never seen any hardship.

Thabit (may Allah have mercy on him) says that someone asked Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) whether the Prophet's blessed hair had turned white.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came out after midday, led the Zuhr prayer, and after saying salam, stood on the pulpit and mentioned the Day of Judgment: and also that before it, great important matters will occur. Then he said, "Whoever wants to ask any question, let him ask. By Allah! Whatever you ask me about, as long as I am standing here, I will surely answer you." Hearing this, people began to weep and wail in abundance, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) kept repeating, "Ask me." So a man stood up and asked, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Where will I enter?" He replied, "In Hell." Abdullah bin Hudhafah (may Allah be pleased with him) asked, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Who is my father?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Your father is Hudhafah." Upon this, Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) knelt down and began to say, "We are pleased and content with Allah as our Lord, with Islam as our religion, and with Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) as our Prophet." Hearing this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) became silent. After a little while, he said, "By Him in Whose hand is my soul, just now Paradise and Hell were presented before me in the width of this wall, while I was praying. I have never seen a day of good and evil like today."

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحَجَّاجِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا حَاتِمُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُصْعَبُ بْنُ ثَابِتِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ ، قَالَ : طَلَبْنَا عِلْمَ الْعُودِ الَّذِي فِي مَقَامِ الْإِمَامِ ، فَلَمْ نَقْدِرْ عَلَى أَحَدٍ يَذْكُرُ لَنَا فِيهِ شَيْئًا ، قَالَ : مُصْعَبٌ : فَأَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ بْنِ خَبَّابٍ صَاحِبُ الْمَقْصُورَةِ ، فَقَالَ : جَلَسَ إِلَيَّ أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ يَوْمًا ، فَقَالَ : هَلْ تَدْرِي لِمَ صُنِعَ هَذَا ؟ وَلَمْ أَسْأَلْهُ عَنْهُ ، فَقُلْتُ : لَا وَاللَّهِ مَا أَدْرِي لِمَ صُنِعَ ، فَقَالَ أَنَسٌ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " يَضَعُ عَلَيْهِ يَمِينَهُ ، ثُمَّ يَلْتَفِتُ إِلَيْنَا ، فَيَقُولُ : اسْتَوُوا وَاعْدِلُوا صُفُوفَكُمْ " .
Mus'ab bin Thabit, may Allah have mercy on him, says that there was a wooden post at the place where the Imam stands in the Prophet's Mosque. We tried very hard to find out something about it from someone, but we could not find a single person who could tell us anything about it. Coincidentally, Muhammad bin Muslim, the owner of the Maqsura, told me that one day Hazrat Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, was sitting with me. He said, "Do you know why this wooden post was placed here?" I had not asked him this question. I replied, "By Allah! I do not know why it was placed here." He said, "The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, used to place his right hand on it and turn towards us and say, 'Straighten up and align your rows.'"

Drive gently with the glass vessels."

Marwan bin Abi Dawood, may Allah have mercy on him, says that once I came to Hazrat Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, and said, "O Abu Hamza! The place is far, but our heart desires to come to visit you." Upon this, he raised his head and said, "I heard the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, say: Whoever visits a sick person, he dives into the ocean of Allah's mercy, and when he sits by the patient, Allah's mercy covers him." I asked, "O Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him! This is the ruling for the healthy person who visits the sick; what is the ruling for the patient?" The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "His sins are forgiven."

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent seventy Ansari companions (may Allah be pleased with them) with them for assistance. Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says that we used to call them "Qurra" (reciters). These people would cut wood during the day and spend the night in prayer.

Take these to Umm Sulaym."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that during the blessed era of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), there was once a drought. On a Friday, while the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was delivering the sermon, a Bedouin stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! The wealth is being destroyed and the children are hungry. Please pray to Allah to bless us with rain." Upon hearing this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his hands and supplicated for rain. At the time when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his blessed hands, we could not see any clouds in the sky. Then clouds like mountains appeared, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had not even descended from the pulpit when we saw rainwater dripping from his blessed beard... Then the narrator mentioned the entire hadith.

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "The heart is between two fingers from among the fingers of Allah; He turns them as He wills."
