3211 2689 / 2 - وَقَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ هُوَ ابْنُ هَارُونَ، أَخْبَرَنَا الْعَلَاءُ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ، ثَنَا أَنَسٌ بِهِ.
« يَا بَنِي اكْتُمْ سِرِّي تَكُنْ مُؤْمِنًا » وَكَانَتْ أُمِّي وَأَزْوَاج رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَسْأَلُنَّنِي عَنْ سِرِّ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَا أُخْبِرُهُمْ بِهِ وَمَا أَنَا بِمُخْبَرٍ بِسِرِّ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَحَدَّا أَبَدًا وَقَالَ يَا بُنَيَّ عَلَيْكَ بِإِسْبَاغِ الْوُضُوءِ يُحِبُّكَ حَافِظَاكَ وَيُزَادُ فِي عُمْرِكَ وَيَا أَنَس بَالِغْ فِي الاغتسال فِي الْجَنَابَةِ فَإِنَّكَ تَخْرُجُ مِنْ مُغْتَسَلِكَ وَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ ذَنْبٌ وَلا خَطِيئَةٌ قَالَ قُلْتُ كَيْفَ الْمُبَالَغَةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ تَبِلُّ أُصُولَ الشَّعَرِ وَتُنَقِّي الْبَشْرَةَ وَيَا بُنَيَّ إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَلَا تَزَالَ عَلَى وُضُوءٍ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ يَأْتِيهِ الْمَوْتُ وَهُوَ عَلَى وُضُوءٍ يُعْطَ الشَّهَادَةَ وَيَا بُنَيَّ إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَلَا تَزَالَ تُصَلِّي فَإِنَّ الْمَلائِكَةَ تُصَلِّي عَلَيْكَ مَا دُمْتَ تُصَلِّي يَا أَنَس إِذَا رَكَعْتَ فَأَمْكِنْ كَفَّيْكَ مِنْ رُكْبَتَيْكَ وَفَرِّجْ بَيْنَ أَصَابِعِكَ وَارْفَعْ مِرْفَقَيْكَ عَنْ جَنْبَيْكَ

قَالَ لِي رَسُول اللهِ ﷺ وَكَانَ أَوَّلُ مَا أَوْصَانِي بِهِ أَنْ قَالَ « يَا بَنِي اكْتُمْ سِرِّي تَكُنْ مُؤْمِنًا » وَكَانَتْ أُمِّي وَأَزْوَاج رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَسْأَلُنَّنِي عَنْ سِرِّ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَا أُخْبِرُهُمْ بِهِ وَمَا أَنَا بِمُخْبَرٍ بِسِرِّ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَحَدَّا أَبَدًا وَقَالَ يَا بُنَيَّ عَلَيْكَ بِإِسْبَاغِ الْوُضُوءِ يُحِبُّكَ حَافِظَاكَ وَيُزَادُ فِي عُمْرِكَ وَيَا أَنَس بَالِغْ فِي الاغتسال فِي الْجَنَابَةِ فَإِنَّكَ تَخْرُجُ مِنْ مُغْتَسَلِكَ وَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ ذَنْبٌ وَلا خَطِيئَةٌ قَالَ قُلْتُ كَيْفَ الْمُبَالَغَةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ تَبِلُّ أُصُولَ الشَّعَرِ وَتُنَقِّي الْبَشْرَةَ وَيَا بُنَيَّ إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَلَا تَزَالَ عَلَى وُضُوءٍ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ يَأْتِيهِ الْمَوْتُ وَهُوَ عَلَى وُضُوءٍ يُعْطَ الشَّهَادَةَ وَيَا بُنَيَّ إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَلَا تَزَالَ تُصَلِّي فَإِنَّ الْمَلائِكَةَ تُصَلِّي عَلَيْكَ مَا دُمْتَ تُصَلِّي يَا أَنَس إِذَا رَكَعْتَ فَأَمْكِنْ كَفَّيْكَ مِنْ رُكْبَتَيْكَ وَفَرِّجْ بَيْنَ أَصَابِعِكَ وَارْفَعْ مِرْفَقَيْكَ عَنْ جَنْبَيْكَ

✧ "O my son, conceal my secret and you will be a believer." My mother and the wives of the Messenger of God ﷺ used to ask me about the secret of the Messenger of God ﷺ, but I would not tell them. And I will never inform anyone of the secret of the Messenger of God ﷺ. He also said: "O my dear son, perfect your ablution, and your guardian angels will love you and your lifespan will be increased. O Anas, be thorough in washing from janabah, for you will leave your place of washing with no sin or error upon you." I said: "How is thoroughness, O Messenger of God?" He said: "Wet the roots of the hair and cleanse the skin." "O my dear son, if you can, always remain in a state of ablution, for whoever death comes to while he is in a state of ablution will be granted martyrdom. O my dear son, if you can, always be praying, for the angels pray for you as long as you are praying. O Anas, when you bow, place your palms firmly on your knees, spread your fingers, and keep your elbows away from your sides."
