وَقَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَنَا الْعَلَاءُ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ الثَّقَفِيُّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ ؓ، يَقُولُ:
خَدَمْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، وَأَنَا ابْنُ ثَمَانِ سِنِينَ، فَكَانَ ﷺ أَوَّلُ مَا عَلَّمَنِي أَنْ قَالَ لِي: يَا بُنَيَّ، أَحْكِمْ وُضُوءَكَ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ وَفِي آخِرِهِ: وَلَا تَبِيتَنَّ وَلَا تُصْبِحَنَّ يَوْمًا وَفِي قَلْبِكَ غِشٌّ لِأَحَدٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْإِسْلَامِ، فَإِنَّ هَذَا مِنْ سُنَّتِي، وَمَنْ أَخَذَ بِسُنَّتِي، فَقَدْ أَحَبَّنِي وَمَنْ أَحَبَّنِي فَهُوَ مَعِي فِي الْجَنَّةِ، يَا بُنَيَّ، فَإِذَا عَمِلْتَ بِهَذَا وَحَفِظْتَ وَصِيَّتِي، فَلَا يَكُونَنَّ شَيْءٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْكَ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ، فَإِنَّ فِيهِ رَاحَتَكَ

✧ I served the Messenger of God ﷺ when I was eight years old. The first thing he ﷺ taught me was to say to me: 'O my son, perfect your ablution...' And he mentioned the hadith, and at the end of it: 'Do not spend a night or reach a morning with any deceit in your heart toward anyone of the people of Islam. This is from my way. Whoever takes my way has loved me, and whoever loves me is with me in Paradise. O my son, if you act upon this and preserve my instruction, let nothing be dearer to you than death, for in it is your rest.'
