Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَخْبَرَنَا حُمَيْدٌ الطَّوِيلُ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ أَخَذَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ بِيَدِي مَقْدَمَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَدِينَةَ فَأَتَتْ بِي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا ابْنِي وَهُوَ غُلَامٌ كَاتِبٌ قَالَ فَخَدَمْتُهُ تِسْعَ سِنِينَ فَمَا قَالَ لِي لِشَيْءٍ قَطُّ صَنَعْتُهُ أَسَأْتَ أَوْ بِئْسَ مَا صَنَعْتَ.
English Translation
Anas ibn Malik said: Umm Sulaim took me by the hand when the Prophet (peace be upon him) arrived in Madinah and brought me to the Messenger of Allah and said: "O Messenger of Allah, this is my son, and he is a literate boy." Anas said: So I served him for nine years, and he never said to me about anything I did: "You did poorly" or "How bad is what you did."
