عن أنس بن مالك قال: كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم إذا صلى الغداة جاء خَدَمُ المدينة بآنيتهم فيها الماء، فما يُؤْتَى بإناءٍ إلا غَمَسَ يده فيها، فربما جاؤوه في الغداة الباردة، فيغمس يده فيها.
أنا أولى بالمؤمنين من أنفسهم، فمن توفي من المؤمنين فترك دَينًا، فعليَّ قضاؤه، ومن ترك مالًا فلورثته
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يُؤْتَى بِالرَّجُلِ المُتَوَفَّى عَلَيْهِ الدَّيْنُ، فَيَسْأَلُ: «هَلْ تَرَكَ لِدَيْنِهِ فَضْلًا؟»، فَإِنْ حُدِّثَ أَنَّهُ تَرَكَ لِدَيْنِهِ وَفَاءً صَلَّى، وَإِلَّا قَالَ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ: «صَلُّوا عَلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ»، فَلَمَّا فَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ الفُتُوحَ، قَالَ: «أَنَا أَوْلَى بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ، فَمَنْ تُوُفِّيَ مِنَ المُؤْمِنِينَ فَتَرَكَ دَيْنًا فَعَلَيَّ قَضَاؤُهُ، وَمَنْ تَرَكَ مَالًا فَلِوَرَثَتِهِ».
كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أحسنَ الناس وكان أجودَ الناس وكان أشجعَ الناس
عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَحْسَنَ النَّاسِ، وَكَانَ أَجْوَدَ النَّاسِ، وَكَانَ أَشْجَعَ النَّاسِ، وَلَقَدْ فَزِعَ أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ، فَانْطَلَقَ نَاسٌ قِبَلَ الصَّوْتِ، فَتَلَقَّاهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَاجِعًا، وَقَدْ سَبَقَهُمْ إِلَى الصَّوْتِ، وَهُوَ عَلَى فَرَسٍ لِأَبِي طَلْحَةَ عُرْيٍ، فِي عُنُقِهِ السَّيْفُ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: «لَمْ تُرَاعُوا، لَمْ تُرَاعُوا» قَالَ: «وَجَدْنَاهُ بَحْرًا، أَوْ إِنَّهُ لَبَحْرٌ» قَالَ: وَكَانَ فَرَسًا يُبَطَّأُ.
