English translation
1973. Narrated Humaid: I asked Anas about the Saum (fasting) of the Prophet ﷺ. He said, "Whenever I liked to see the Prophet ﷺ observing Saum (fast) in any month, I could see that, and whenever I liked to see him not observing Saum (fast), I could see that too, and if I liked to see him offering Salāt (prayer) in any night, I could see that, and if I liked to see him sleeping, I could see that, too." Anas further said, "I never touched silk or velvet softer than the hand of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ, and never smelled musk or perfume more pleasant than the smell of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ."
