ahmad:13116Yazīd > Shuʿbah > ʿAttāb a freed slave of Ibn Hurmuz

[Machine] I heard 'Attab bin Hurmuz's mawla saying: I had traveled with Anas bin Malik in a boat, and I heard him saying, "I pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah with my hand and he pointed with his right hand to his ear and his obedience in all that I am capable of."  

أحمد:١٣١١٦حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ عَتَّابًا مَوْلَى ابْنِ هُرْمُزَ يَقُولُ صَحِبْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ فِي سَفِينَةٍ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ بَايَعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بِيَدِي هَذِهِ وَأَشَارَ بِيَمِينِهِ عَلَى السَّمْعِ وَالطَّاعَةِ فِيمَا اسْتَطَعْتُ
