And Ahmad ibn Hanbal and Zuhayr ibn Harb narrated it to us, both from Isma'il—the wording is Ahmad's—they said: Isma'il ibn Ibrahim narrated to us, from 'Abd al-'Aziz, from Anas, who said: When the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, arrived in Medina, Abu Talhah took my hand and brought me to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and said: "O Messenger of Allah, Anas is an intelligent boy, so let him serve you." He said: So I served him on journeys and at home. By Allah, he never said to me about anything I did, "Why did you do this in such a way?" nor about anything I did not do, "Why did you not do this in such a way?"
