adab:966

Salama ibn Wardan said, "I saw Anas ibn Malik shake hands with some people and he asked me, 'And who are you?' I said, 'The mawla of the Banu Layth.' He stroked my head three times and said, 'May Allah bless you.'"  

الأدب المفرد:٩٦٦حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ شَيْبَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُبَاتَةَ

عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ وَرْدَانَ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يُصَافِحُ النَّاسَ فَسَأَلَنِي مَنْ أَنْتَ؟ فَقُلْتُ مَوْلًى لِبَنِي لَيْثٍ فَمَسَحَ عَلَى رَأْسِي ثَلاَثًا وَقَالَ بَارَكَ اللَّهُ فِيكَ
