حَدَّثَنَا مَخْلَدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الشَّعِيرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَمَّارٍ - قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ - قَالَ قَالَ أَنَسٌ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِنْ أَحْسَنِ النَّاسِ خُلُقًا فَأَرْسَلَنِي يَوْمًا لِحَاجَةٍ فَقُلْتُ وَاللَّهِ لاَ أَذْهَبُ . وَفِي نَفْسِي أَنْ أَذْهَبَ لِمَا أَمَرَنِي بِهِ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم . قَالَ فَخَرَجْتُ حَتَّى أَمُرَّ عَلَى صِبْيَانٍ وَهُمْ يَلْعَبُونَ فِي السُّوقِ فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَابِضٌ بِقَفَاىَ مِنْ وَرَائِي فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهِ وَهُوَ يَضْحَكُ فَقَالَ " يَا أُنَيْسُ اذْهَبْ حَيْثُ أَمَرْتُكَ " . قُلْتُ نَعَمْ أَنَا أَذْهَبُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ . قَالَ أَنَسٌ وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ خَدَمْتُهُ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ أَوْ تِسْعَ سِنِينَ مَا عَلِمْتُ قَالَ لِشَىْءٍ صَنَعْتُ لِمَ فَعَلْتَ كَذَا وَكَذَا . وَلاَ لِشَىْءٍ تَرَكْتُ هَلاَّ فَعَلْتَ كَذَا وَكَذَا .
Makhlad ibn Khalid al-Sha‘iri narrated to us: ‘Umar ibn Yunus narrated to us: ‘Ikrimah—meaning Ibn ‘Ammar—narrated to us, saying: Ishaq—meaning Ibn ‘Abd Allah ibn Abi Talhah—narrated to me: Anas said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was among the best of people in character. One day he sent me on an errand. I said, ‘By Allah, I will not go,’ though inwardly I intended to go because the Prophet of Allah (ﷺ) had ordered me to. I went out and passed by some boys playing in the market. Suddenly the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was behind me, holding me by the nape of my neck. I looked at him and he was laughing. He said, ‘Unays, go where I told you to go.’ I replied, ‘Yes, Messenger of Allah, I am going.’ Anas said: By Allah, I served him for seven or nine years, and I never knew him to say about anything I had done, ‘Why did you do such-and-such?’ or about anything I had left undone, ‘Why did you not do such-and-such?’
