The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us when I was a boy among the boys. He saluted us and took me by my hand. He then sent me with some message. He himself sat in the shadow of a wall, or he said: near a wall until I returned to him.
أَنَسٌ انْتَهَى إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا غُلاَمٌ فِي الْغِلْمَانِ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْنَا ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِيَدِي فَأَرْسَلَنِي بِرِسَالَةٍ وَقَعَدَ فِي ظِلِّ جِدَارٍ أَوْ قَالَ إِلَى جِدَارٍ حَتَّى رَجَعْتُ إِلَيْهِ
