حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الضُّبَعِيُّ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ
خَدَمْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَشْرَ سِنِينَ. فَمَا قَالَ لِي أُفٍّ قَطُّ، وَمَا قَالَ لِشَيْءٍ صَنَعْتُهُ: لِمَ صَنَعْتَهُ؟ وَلاَ لِشَيْءٍ تَرَكْتُهُ: لِمَ تَرَكْتَهُ؟ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ أَحْسَنِ النَّاسِ خُلُقًا. وَلاَ مَسِسْتُ خَزًّا قَطُّ وَلاَ حَرِيرًا وَلاَ شَيْئًا كَانَ أَلْيَنَ مِنْ كَفِّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، وَلاَ شَمَمْتُ مِسْكًا قَطُّ وَلاَ عِطْرًا كَانَ أَطْيَبَ مِنْ عَرَقِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ.

I served the Prophet ﷺ for ten years. He never ever scowled at me and for something I had done, he never ˹accused˺ me asking, “Why did you do this?” and for something I did not do, he never asked, “Why did you not do this?” The Messenger Of Allah ﷺ had the best of characters among all people. ˹Also,˺ I have never touched khazz (damask), silk, or anything else softer than the palms of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, nor have I ever smelled musk or a fragrance sweeter than the sweat of the Prophet ﷺ.
