[Machine] Anas said, "I have never smelled anything more fragrant than the scent of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . I have never touched anything softer than the touch of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." Thabit said, "I said, 'O Abu Hamza! You seem as if you are looking at the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and hearing his voice.' He said, 'Yes, by Allah! I hope to meet him on the Day of Judgement and say, 'O Messenger of Allah! I served you for ten years in Madinah while I was a boy. Not everything he ordered me to do was to my liking, and he never scolded me for anything I did or did not do."  

أحمد:١٣٣١٧حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمٌ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ قَالَ

أَنَسٌ مَا شَمِمْتُ شَيْئًا عَنْبَرًا قَطُّ وَلَا مِسْكًا قَطُّ وَلَا شَيْئًا قَطُّ أَطْيَبَ مِنْ رِيحِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَلَا مَسِسْتُ شَيْئًا قَطُّ دِيبَاجًا وَلَا حَرِيرًا أَلْيَنَ مَسًّا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ ثَابِتٌ فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَا حَمْزَةَ أَلَسْتَ كَأَنَّكَ تَنْظُرُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَكَأَنَّكَ تَسْمَعُ إِلَى نَغَمَتِهِ؟ فَقَالَ بَلَى وَاللهِ إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ أَلْقَاهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَأَقُولَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ خُوَيْدِمُكَ قَالَ خَدَمْتُهُ عَشْرَ سِنِينَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَأَنَا غُلَامٌ لَيْسَ كُلُّ أَمْرِي كَمَا يَشْتَهِي صَاحِبِي أَنْ يَكُونَ مَا قَالَ لِي فِيهَا أُفٍّ وَمَا قَالَلِي لِمَ فَعَلْتَ هَذَا أَوْ أَلَا فَعَلْتَ هَذَا
