Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Sahihah

Hazrat Thabit narrates from Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to our mother Umm Haram (may Allah be pleased with her). We brought dates and ghee to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Put these (dates) back in the bowl and this (ghee) back in the waterskin, for I am fasting." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up and led us in two units of voluntary prayer. Umm Haram and Umm Sulaim stood behind us, and he made me stand on his right side, as Thabit has narrated. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led us in voluntary prayer on a mat. When the prayer was completed, Umm Sulaim said: This is your beloved servant Anas; please supplicate to Allah for him. In response, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed for every good and blessing for him in this world and the Hereafter. Then he said: "O Allah! Increase him in wealth and children, and then bless him in it." Anas says: My daughter told me that there are more than ninety individuals among my descendants, and there was no man among the Ansar who had more wealth than me. Then Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Thabit! I do not possess gold or silver, except for this ring.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) says: I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) while he was praying in the last part of the night. I started praying behind him, so he took my hand, pulled me, and made me stand beside him. When he became engaged in his prayer, I moved back. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) continued praying, and when he finished, he said to me: "What happened to you? I made you stand beside me, yet you moved back?" I said: O Messenger of Allah! Is it befitting for anyone to pray beside you? You are the Messenger of Allah, and Allah the Exalted has granted you so much. (By saying these things) I caused the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) to be amazed and astonished, so he supplicated to Allah to increase me in knowledge and understanding. In the narration of Imam Ahmad, there is this addition: Then I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) sleep, and the sound of his breathing could be heard. Then Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) came and said: O Messenger of Allah! Lead the prayer. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) stood up, led the prayer, and did not perform ablution again.
