212/278 عن أنس بن مالك قال: " كان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم رحيماً، وكان لا يأتيه أحدٌ إلا وعده، وأنجز له إن كان عنده، وأقيمت الصلاة، وجاءه أعرابي فأخذ بثوبه فقال: إنما بقي من حاجتي يسيرة؛ وأخاف أنساها، فقام معه حتى فرغ من حاجته، ثم أقبل فصلّى".
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was very compassionate. When anyone came to him (for their need), he would make a promise to them and fulfill it, provided he had it with him. (Once) the iqamah for prayer was given and a Bedouin came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), grabbed his garment, and said: "I have a small need left, I fear I might forget it." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went with him until his need was fulfilled, and then returned and led the prayer.
