Narrated to us Nasr ibn Ali al-Jahdami, and Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna, and Ibn Bashshar, all from Ibn Ar'arah — and the wording is that of al-Jahdami — narrated to me Muhammad ibn Ar'arah, narrated to us Shu'bah, from Yunus ibn Ubayd, from Thabit al-Bunani, from Anas ibn Malik, who said: I set out with Jarir ibn Abdullah al-Bajali on a journey, and he was serving me. I said to him, "Do not do that." He said, "Indeed, I have seen the Ansar do something with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and I vowed that I would not accompany any of them except that I would serve him." Ibn al-Muthanna and Ibn Bashshar added in their narration: And Jarir was older than Anas. And Ibn Bashshar said: more advanced in age than Anas.
