His Character and Natural Disposition - Section 2
عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: خَدَمْتُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنَا ابْنُ ثَمَانِ سِنِينَ خَدَمْتُهُ عَشْرَ سِنِينَ فَمَا لَامَنِي عَلَى شَيْءٍ قَطُّ أَتَى فِيهِ عَلَى يَدَيَّ فَإِنْ لَامَنِي لَائِمٌ مِنْ أَهْلِهِ قَالَ: «دَعُوهُ فَإِنَّهُ لَوْ قُضِيَ شَيْءٌ كَانَ». هَذَا لَفَظُ «الْمَصَابِيحِ» وَرَوَى الْبَيْهَقِيُّ فِي «شُعَبِ الْإِيمَانِ». مَعَ تَغْيِيرٍ يَسِيرٍ
Translation
Anas said: I served God's messenger for ten years from the time I was eight years old and he never blamed me for anything which was destroyed at my hand. If any member of his family blamed me, he said, "Leave him alone, for if anything were decreed it would happen." This is the wording in al-Masabih, and Baihaqi has a slightly different version in Shu'ab al-iman.
