Narrated to us Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah and Ibn Numayr, both saying: narrated to us Muhammad ibn Bishr, narrated to us Zakariyya, narrated to me Sa'id — and he is Ibn Abi Burdah — from Anas, who said: I served the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, for nine years, and I never knew him to say to me at any time, "Why did you do such and such?" nor did he ever criticize me for anything.
