The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to me while I was playing with the other boys. He greeted us, then sent me on an errand, which made me late returning to my mother.When I came home, she asked, "What kept you?"I said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me on an errand."She asked, "What was his errand?"I said, "It is a secret."She said, "Then do not tell anyone the secret of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ."Anas said, "By Allah, if I were to tell it to anyone, I would have told you, Thabit."
