ahmad:12753Muḥammad b. Jaʿfar > Shuʿbah > Abū al-Tayyāḥ > Anas b. Mālik

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , used to mix with us to the extent that he would say to his brother, 'O Abu 'Umayr, what did the little gazelle do?' He (Shu'bah) said: "And when the prayer was ready, we would sprinkle water on his garment, then we would put ourselves behind him." Shu'bah said: "Then Abu Tayyah grew up and he (the Prophet) did not put us behind him or secure us."  

أحمد:١٢٧٥٣حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي التَّيَّاحِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ قَالَ

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُخَالِطُنَا حَتَّى إِنْ كَانَ لَيَقُولُ لِأَخٍ لِي يَا أَبَا عُمَيْرٍ مَا فَعَلَ النُّغَيْرُ قَالَ وَكَانَ إِذَا حَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ نَضَحْنَا لَهُ طَرَفَ بِسَاطٍ ثُمَّ أَمَّنَا وَصَفَّنَا خَلْفَهُ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ ثُمَّ إِنَّ أَبَا التَّيَّاحِ بَعْدَمَا كَبِرَ قَالَ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَصَلَّى وَلَمْ يَقُلْ صَفَّنَا خَلْفَهُ وَلَا أَمَّنَا

ibnhibban:2506Abū Khalīfah > Abū al-Walīd > Shuʿbah > Abū al-Tayyāḥ > Anas b. Mālik

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to interact with us frequently, to the point that he would even say to his younger brother, "O Abu Umair, how is An-Nughayr?" And when the time for prayer came, we spread out a mat for him, and he prayed on it while we lined up behind him.  

ابن حبّان:٢٥٠٦أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو خَلِيفَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي التَّيَّاحِ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُخَالِطُنَا كَثِيرًا حَتَّى إِنْ كَانَ لَيَقُولُ لِأَخٍ لِي صَغِيرٍ «يَا أَبَا عُمَيْرٍ مَا فَعَلَ النُّغَيْرُ؟ » وَحَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَنَضَحْنَا بُسَاطًا لَنَا فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ وَصَفَفْنَا خَلْفَهُ
