[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ passed by me while I was playing with the boys. He greeted us and then called me. He sent me on an errand for him, so I came but I delayed because of my mother. She asked, "What held you up? Where were you?" I said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me on an errand." She asked, "Oh my son, what is it?" I said, "It is a secret." She said, "Do not tell anyone the secret of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." Then she said, "By Allah, O Thabit, if I had known the secret, I would have told you."  

مَرَّ بِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَأَنَا أَلْعَبُ مَعَ الصِّبْيَانِ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْنَا ثُمَّ دَعَانِي فَبَعَثَنِي إِلَى حَاجَةٍ لَهُ فَجِئْتُ وَقَدْ أَبْطَأْتُ عَنْ أُمِّي فَقَالَتْ مَا حَبَسَكَ أَيْنَ كُنْتَ؟ فَقُلْتُ بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى حَاجَةٍ فَقَالَتْ أَيْ بُنَيَّ وَمَا هِيَ؟ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّهَا سِرٌّ قَالَتْ لَا تُحَدِّثْ بِسِرِّ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَحَدًا ثُمَّ قَالَ وَاللهِ يَا ثَابِتُ لَوْ كُنْتُ حَدَّثْتُ بِهِ أَحَدًا لَحَدَّثْتُكَ  

Anas said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, came to us when we were children. He greeted us and sent me to get something he needed. He sat in the road waiting for me until I came back to him."  

عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَتَانَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ صِبْيَانُ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْنَا وَأَرْسَلَنِي فِي حَاجَةٍ وَجَلَسَ فِي الطَّرِيقِ يَنْتَظِرُنِي حَتَّى رَجَعْتُ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ فَأَبْطَأْتُ عَلَى أُمِّ سُلَيْمٍ فَقَالَتْ مَا حَبَسَكَ؟ فَقُلْتُ بَعَثَنِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي حَاجَةٍ قَالَتْ مَا هِيَ؟ قُلْتُ إِنَّهَا سِرٌّ قَالَتْ فَاحْفَظْ سِرَّ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ  

Anas said, "I was serving the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, one day. When I thought I had finished serving him, I said, 'The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, is having a midday nap.' So I left him and there were some children playing. I stood looking at them and their game. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, came out, and came up to them and greeted them. Then he called me and sent me to get something he needed. He remained in the shade until I came back to him. I was late for my mother and she and he asked, 'What kept you?' I replied, The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, sent me for something he needed.' 'What was it?' she asked. I replied, 'It is a secret of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.' She said, Keep the secret of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.' I did not tell anyone that secret. If I had told it, I would have told it to her.'"  

عَنْ أَنَسٍ خَدَمْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمًا حَتَّى إِذَا رَأَيْتُ أَنِّي قَدْ فَرَغْتُ مِنْ خِدْمَتِهِ قُلْتُ يَقِيلُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَخَرَجْتُ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ فَإِذَا غِلْمَةٌ يَلْعَبُونَ فَقُمْتُ أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِمْ إِلَى لَعِبِهِمْ فَجَاءَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَانْتَهَى إِلَيْهِمْ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ ثُمَّ دَعَانِي فَبَعَثَنِي إِلَى حَاجَةٍ فَكَانَ فِي فَيْءٍ حَتَّى أَتَيْتُهُ وَأَبْطَأْتُ عَلَى أُمِّي فَقَالَتْ مَا حَبَسَكَ؟ قُلْتُ بَعَثَنِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِلَى حَاجَةٍ قَالَتْ مَا هِيَ؟ قُلْتُ إِنَّهُ سِرٌّ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَتِ احْفَظْ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ سِرَّهُ فَمَا حَدَّثْتُ بِتِلْكَ الْحَاجَةِ أَحَدًا مِنَ الْخَلْقِ فَلَوْ كُنْتُ مُحَدِّثًا حَدَّثْتُكَ بِهَا
