[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 ﷺ 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 ﷺ one day. When I thought I had finished serving him, I said, 'The Prophet ﷺ 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 ﷺ 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 ﷺ 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
