Sahih al-Bukhari 6911 (Book 87, Hadith 49) #6643
Serving with Faithfulness

SUMMARY: The hadith is about Anas, who was a young boy when the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) arrived in Medina. Abu Talha brought Anas to the Prophet and asked him to serve him. Anas served the Prophet faithfully and he never criticized or reprimanded him for anything he did or didn't do.

Narrated 'Abdul-'Aziz: Anas said, "When Allah's Messenger arrived at Medina, Abu Talha took hold of my hand and brought me to Allah's Messenger and said, "O Allah's Messenger ! Anas is an intelligent boy, so let him serve you". Anas added, "So I served the Prophet L at home and on journeys; by Allah, he never said to me for anything which I did: Why have you done this like this or, for anything which I did not do: 'Why have you not done this like this?"
حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ زُرَارَةَ، أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ لَمَّا قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ الْمَدِينَةَ أَخَذَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ بِيَدِي فَانْطَلَقَ بِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَنَسًا غُلاَمٌ كَيِّسٌ فَلْيَخْدُمْكَ‏.‏ قَالَ فَخَدَمْتُهُ فِي الْحَضَرِ وَالسَّفَرِ، فَوَاللَّهِ مَا قَالَ لِي لِشَىْءٍ صَنَعْتُهُ، لِمَ صَنَعْتَ هَذَا هَكَذَا وَلاَ لِشَىْءٍ لَمْ أَصْنَعْهُ لِمَ لَمْ تَصْنَعْ هَذَا هَكَذَا
