Anas bin Malik (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I set out along with Jarir bin `Abdullah Al-Bajali
(May Allah be pleased with him) on a journey and he served me. I said to him:
"Don't do that.
'' Thereupon, he said,
"I have seen the Ansar doing this with Messenger of Allah (PBUH), and I swore by Allah, whenever I accompany
anyone of the Ansar, I would serve him".
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
1. This Hadith gives a fair idea of the love that the Companions of the Prophet (PBUH) had for him. It was so
profound that they regarded it a great honour to serve the servants of the Prophet (PBUH), even if they were younger
in age.
2. It also tells of the hospitality of the Companions of the Prophet (PBUH). They neither felt any hesitation in
showing respect to their youngers nor were they shy of serving them.
3. The Companions of Messenger of Allah (PBUH) had a friendly, fraternal and faithful relationship with one
another and it was founded on a common bond in them - the gratitude for the Prophet (PBUH).
