Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reader: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions:
The author (may Allah have mercy on him) transmitted, in the context of the hadiths in the chapter on keeping secrets: "From Thabit from Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came to me while I was playing with the boys. He greeted us and sent me on an errand. This delayed my return to my mother. When I came to her, she asked, "What detained you?" I said; "Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent me on an errand." She asked, "What was it?" I said, "It is a secret." My mother said; "Do not disclose to anyone the secret of Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)." Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) said to Thabit (May Allah be pleased with him): By Allah, were I to tell it to anyone I would have told you. أتى عليَّ رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وأنا ألعب مع الغِلمان، فسلم علينا، فبعثني في حاجته، فأبطأت على أمي، فلما جئت قالت: ما حبسك؟ فقلت: بعثني رسولُ الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لحاجة، قالت: ما حاجته؟ قلت: إنها سِر، قالت: لا تخبرن بِسِر رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أحدًا، قال أنس: والله لو حدثت به أحدًا لحدثتك به يا ثابت
Riyad as-Salihin 687
Muslim narrated it"
.

The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Al-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said in the chapter on keeping secrets in the book *Riyad al-Salihin*, regarding what he transmitted from Thabit al-Bunani (may Allah have mercy on him), from Anas ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, the servant of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family):
That the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) passed by him while he was playing with the boys, so he greeted them. أن النبي صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم مرَّ به وهو يلعب مع الصبيان، فسلم عليهم
: This means he greeted the boys while they were playing, because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) was the best of people in character, so he would pass by the boys and greet them.
Then Anas ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, was called, and he was sent on an errand, so he was delayed in returning to his mother. ثم دعا أنس بن مالك رضي الله عنه ، دعاه وأرسله في حاجة، فأبطأ على أمه
: And his mother is Umm Sulaym, the wife of Abu Talhah.
When he came to her, she asked him what had delayed him. He said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me on an errand. فلما جاء إليها سألته ما الذي أبطأ بك؟ قال: بعثني النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم في حاجة
: This means he sent me with it.
She said: What was his errand? He said: I would not tell the secret of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). So she said: Do not tell anyone the secret of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). قالت: ما حاجته؟ قال: ما كنت لأخبر بسر رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فقالت: لا تُخبرنَّ أحدًا بسر رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم
, Anas said to Thabit, who was constantly with him: "If I were to inform anyone of it, I would have informed you": That is, regarding the errand for which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent him.
