´Narrated Anas bin Malik:` "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) passed by, so my mother, Umm Sulaim, heard his voice and said: 'May my father and mother be ransomed for you, O Messenger of Allah. This is Unais.' So the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) supplicated for me with three supplications, and I have seem two of them in the world, and I hope for the third in the Hereafter."

Anis is the diminutive form of Anas.

and among my descendants, my grandsons and granddaughters were so numerous that their number was close to one hundred.

3: This supplication was related to the forgiveness of sins, which he will attain in the Hereafter, insha Allah.

Hadith Commentary:
Benefits and Issues:
This hadith establishes that some secrets are to be kept so concealed that they cannot be disclosed even after the person’s death.
For this reason, Anas radi Allahu anhu did not inform his distinguished student of your secret even after your passing.
