5163. Narrated Anas bin Mālik: "Whenever the Prophet ﷺ passed by (my mother) Umm Sulaim, he used to enter her
(dwelling place) and greet her. Anas further said: Once the Prophet ﷺ was a bridegroom during his marriage with Zainab, Umm Sulaim said to me, "Let us give a gift to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ." I said to her, "Do it." So she prepared Haisa (a sweet dish) made from dates, butter and dried yoghurt and she sent it with me to him. I took it to him and he said, "Put it down," and ordered me to call some men whom he named, and to invite whomever I would meet. I did what he ordered me to do, and when I returned, I found the house crowded with people and saw the Prophet ﷺ keeping his hand over the Haisa and saying over it whatever Allāh wished (him to say). Then he called the men in batches of ten to eat of it, and he said to them, "Mention the Name of Allāh, and each man should eat of the dish the nearest to him." When all of them had finished their meals, some of them left and a few remained there talking, which made me feel unhappy. Then the Prophet ﷺ went out towards the dwelling places (of his wives) and I too, went out after him and told him that those people had left. Then he returned and entered his dwelling place and let the curtains fall while I was in (his) dwelling place, and he was reciting the Verses:
'O you who believe! Enter not the Prophet's house unless permission is given to you for a meal, (and then) not (so early as) to wait for its preparation. But when you are invited, enter, and when you have taken your meals, disperse without sitting for a talk. Verily, such (behaviour) annoys the Prophet; and he is shy of (asking) you (to go), but Allāh is not shy of (telling you) the truth...' (V.33-53)
Abū 'Uthmān said: Anas said, "I served the Prophet ﷺ for ten years."

5163 - وَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ: عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ واسْمُهُ الجَعْدُ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: مَرَّ بِنَا فِي مَسْجِدِ بَنِي رِفَاعَةَ، فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا مَرَّ بِجَنَبَاتِ أُمِّ سُلَيْمٍ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهَا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَرُوسًا بِزَيْنَبَ، فَقَالَتْ لِي أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ: لَوْ أَهْدَيْنَا لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ هَدِيَّةً، فَقُلْتُ لَهَا: افْعَلِي، فَعَمَدَتِ الى تَمْرٍ وَسَمْنٍ وَأَقِطٍ، فَاتَّخَذَتْ حَيْسَةً فِي بُرْمَةٍ، فَأَرْسَلَتْ بِهَا مَعِي إِلَيْهِ، فَانْطَلَقْتُ بِهَا إِلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ لِي: «ضَعْهَا» ثُمَّ أَمَرَنِي فَقَالَ: «ادْعُ لِي رِجَالًا - سَمَّاهُمْ - وَادْعُ لِي مَنْ لَقِيتَ» قَالَ: فَفَعَلْتُ الَّذِي أَمَرَنِي، فَرَجَعْتُ فَإِذَا البَيْتُ غَاصٌّ بِأَهْلِهِ، فَرَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَضَعَ يَدَيْهِ عَلَى تِلْكَ الحَيْسَةِ وَتَكَلَّمَ بِهَا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ، ثُمَّ جَعَلَ يَدْعُو عَشَرَةً عَشَرَةً يَأْكُلُونَ مِنْهُ، وَيَقُولُ لَهُمْ: «اذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللَّهِ، وَلْيَأْكُلْ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِمَّا يَلِيهِ» قَالَ: حَتَّى تَصَدَّعُوا كُلُّهُمْ عَنْهَا، فَخَرَجَ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ خَرَجَ، وَبَقِيَ نَفَرٌ يَتَحَدَّثُونَ، قَالَ: وَجَعَلْتُ أَغْتَمُّ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَحْوَ الحُجُرَاتِ وَخَرَجْتُ فِي إِثْرِهِ، فَقُلْتُ: إِنَّهُمْ قَدْ ذَهَبُوا، فَرَجَعَ فَدَخَلَ البَيْتَ، وَأَرْخَى السِّتْرَ وَإِنِّي لَفِي الحُجْرَةِ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لاَ تَدْخُلُوا بُيُوتَ النَّبِيِّ، إِلَّا أَنْ يُؤْذَنَ لَكُمْ إِلَى طَعَامٍ غَيْرَ نَاظِرِينَ إِنَاهُ، وَلَكِنْ إِذَا دُعِيتُمْ فَادْخُلُوا، فَإِذَا طَعِمْتُمْ فَانْتَشِرُوا وَلاَ مُسْتَأْنِسِينَ لِحَدِيثٍ، إِنَّ ذَلِكُمْ كَانَ يُؤْذِي النَّبِيَّ فَيَسْتَحْيِي مِنْكُمْ، وَاللَّهُ لاَ يَسْتَحْيِي مِنَ الحَقِّ} [الأحزاب: 53] قَالَ أَبُو عُثْمَانَ: قَالَ أَنَسٌ: «إِنَّهُ خَدَمَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَشْرَ سِنِينَ»
