Volume 3, Book 31, Number 203:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet paid a visit to Um-Sulaim and she placed before him dates and ghee. The Prophet
said, "Replace the ghee and dates in their respective containers for I am fasting." Then he stood some –
where in her house and offered an optional prayer and then he invoked good on Um-Sulaim and her
family. Then Um-Sulaim said, "O Allah's Apostle! I have a special request (today)." He said, "What is
it?" She replied, "(Please invoke for) your servant Anas." So Allah's Apostle did not leave anything
good in the world or the Hereafter which he did not invoke (Allah to bestow) on me and said, "O Al –
lah! Give him (i.e. Anas) property and children and bless him." Thus I am one of the richest among
the Ansar and my daughter Umaina told me that when A-Hajjaj came to Basra, more than 120 of my
offspring had been buried.
