HAZRAT ANAS IBN

MAALIK ANSARI

(RADI ALLAHU ANHU)

 

Name: His name was Anas.

 

About Him: He is that personality who spent much of his time in the blessed service of the Beloved Rasool (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) and his mother Umme Saleem (radi Allahu anha) is amongst the exalted Sahabiyah of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). He was ten years old, when Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) arrived in Madinatul Munawwarah. The Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) used to address him as Abu Hamza.

 

Once, he dug a well, and found that the water was salty. He informed the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) of this. The Beloved Rasool (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) placed his blessed saliva in the well. The blessing of this was that the water from the well of Hazrat Anas (radi Allahu anhu) became sweeter than that of any other well in Madinatul Munawwarah.

 

He fought in eight battles alongside the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). He narrated two thousand two hundred and eighty six Hadith.

 

Wisaal: He lived for more than 100 years, and passed away in the year 93 A.H.
