الأدب المفرد:١١٣٩ – حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلامٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ الأَحْمَرُ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ

عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَتَانَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ صِبْيَانُ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْنَا وَأَرْسَلَنِي فِي حَاجَةٍ وَجَلَسَ فِي الطَّرِيقِ يَنْتَظِرُنِي حَتَّى رَجَعْتُ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ فَأَبْطَأْتُ عَلَى أُمِّ سُلَيْمٍ فَقَالَتْ مَا حَبَسَكَ؟ فَقُلْتُ بَعَثَنِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي حَاجَةٍ قَالَتْ مَا هِيَ؟ قُلْتُ إِنَّهَا سِرٌّ قَالَتْ فَاحْفَظْ سِرَّ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ

muslim:2482a – Abū Bakr b. Nāfiʿ > Bahz > Ḥammād > Thābit > Anas

Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to me as I was playing with playmates. He greeted and sent me on an errand and I made delay in going to my mother. When I came to her she said: What detained you? I said: Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me on an errand. She said: What was the purpose? I said: It is something secret. Therupon she said: Do not then divulge the secret of Messenger of Allah ﷺ to anyone. Anas said: By Allah, if I were to divulge it to anyone, then, O Thabit, I would have divulged it to you.  

مسلم:٢٤٨٢a – حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ نَافِعٍ حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ أَخْبَرَنَا ثَابِتٌ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ

أَتَى عَلَىَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا أَلْعَبُ مَعَ الْغِلْمَانِ قَالَ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْنَا فَبَعَثَنِي إِلَى حَاجَةٍ فَأَبْطَأْتُ عَلَى أُمِّي فَلَمَّا جِئْتُ قَالَتْ مَا حَبَسَكَ قُلْتُ بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِحَاجَةٍ قَالَتْ مَا حَاجَتُهُ قُلْتُ إِنَّهَا سِرٌّ قَالَتْ لاَ تُحَدِّثَنَّ بِسِرِّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَحَدًا قَالَ أَنَسٌ وَاللَّهِ لَوْ حَدَّثْتُ بِهِ أَحَدًا لَحَدَّثْتُكَ يَا ثَابِتُ
