Anas said, "I used to serve the Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace." He continued, "I used to enter without asking for permission
to enter. One day I came and he said, 'My son, there is a new situation.
You should not come in unless you have permission.'"
As-Sa'b ibn Hakim reported that his grandfather said, "I came to
'Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him. He began to say, 'Nephew.'
Then he questioned me and I told him my lineage and so he knew that my
father had not become Muslim. He began to say, 'My son, my son.'"
'Abdullah ibn Burayda related that his father said, "The Prophet,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, went out to the mosque while Abu
Musa was reciting and asked, 'Who is this?' 'I am Burayda,' I replied,
'May I be your ransom!' He said, 'This man has been given one of the flutes
of the family of Da'ud.'"
