come to command your hand in marriage.” She said, “I am very unlucky to lose this chance.” Then

I saw the drinking bowl of the Prophet with Anas bin Malik, and it had been broken, and he had

“I gave water to the Prophet in that bowl more than so-and-so (for a long period).” Ibn Sirin said:
Around that bowl there was an iron ring, and Anas wanted to replace it with a silver or gold ring,

was.
