حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْمُغِيرَةِ - عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ خَدَمْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَشْرَ سِنِينَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَأَنَا غُلاَمٌ لَيْسَ كُلُّ أَمْرِي كَمَا يَشْتَهِي صَاحِبِي أَنْ أَكُونَ عَلَيْهِ مَا قَالَ لِي فِيهَا أُفٍّ قَطُّ وَمَا قَالَ لِي لِمَ فَعَلْتَ هَذَا أَوْ أَلاَ فَعَلْتَ هَذَا .
‘Abd Allah ibn Maslamah narrated to us: Sulayman—meaning Ibn al-Mughirah—narrated to us, from Thabit, from Anas, who said: I served the Prophet (ﷺ) in Madinah for ten years while I was a boy. Not everything I did was as my master would have wished, yet he never once said ‘Uff!’ to me, nor did he say about anything, ‘Why did you do that?’ or, ‘Why did you not do that?’
