close to the Mosque went to their houses to perform ablution, while the others remained (sitting
there). A stone pot containing water was brought to the Prophet, who wanted to put his hand in it,
but It was too small for him to spread his hand in it, and so he had to bring his fingers together be –
fore putting his hand in the pot. Then all the people performed the ablution (with that water).” I
asked Anas, “How many persons were they.” He replied, “There were eighty men.”

Anas said, “The Prophet forbade the selling of dates till they were almost ripe.” We asked Anas,

brother (somebody else)?’ “

I asked Anas about the fasting of the Prophet. He said “Whenever I liked to see the Prophet fasting
in any month, I could see that, and whenever I liked to see him not fasting, I could see that too, and if
I liked to see him praying in any night, I could see that, and if I liked to see him sleeping, I could see
that, too.” Anas further said, “I never touched silk or velvet softer than the hand of Allah’s Apostle and
never smelled musk or perfumed smoke more pleasant than the smell of Allah’s Apostle.”

take towards the mosque) there is a reward (while coming for prayer)?” Mujahid said: “Regarding
Allah’s Statement: “We record that which they have sent before (them), and their traces” (36.12).
‘Their traces’ means ‘their steps.’ ” And Anas said that the people of Bani Salima wanted to shift to a
place near the Prophet but Allah’s Apostle disliked the idea of leaving their houses uninhabited and
said, “Don’t you think that you will get the reward for your footprints.” Mujahid said, “Their foot
prints mean their foot steps and their going on foot.”

remained in prayer as long as you waited for it.’ ” Anas added, “As if I were just now observing the
glitter of his ring.”
