[Machine] "I served the Messenger of Allah ﷺ one day until I felt that I had completed my service to him. So, I said, 'May Allah belittle the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ,' and I went out to children who were playing. He ﷺ then came and greeted the children while they were playing. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called me over and sent me on an errand for him. I went and performed the task and when I returned, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was sitting in a shade. I approached him but was hesitant to leave my mother alone with the groceries I had brought. When I finally reached her, she asked, 'What held you up?' I said, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me on an errand for him.' She asked, 'What was it?' I said, 'It is a secret for the Messenger of Allah.' She said, 'Then guard the secret of the Messenger of Allah.' Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) said, 'Anas told me, if I were to share it with anyone or if I were to speak to someone about it, I would have told you, O Thabit."
