Ibrahعِبْرَة All names

Named after

أَنَس

If your name is Anas

Ten years serving the Prophet ﷺ, and not once a harsh word.

If your name is Anas, you're named after Anas ibn Malik.

When the Prophet ﷺ arrived in Medina, Abu Talha took a young boy by the hand and brought him to him: "O Messenger of Allah, Anas is a bright boy. Let him serve you." (Sahih al-Bukhari 6911)

So Anas served him, at home and on journeys, for ten years. This is what he remembered:

"I served the Prophet ﷺ for ten years, and he never once said 'uff' to me. He never said, 'Why did you do that?' or 'Why didn't you do this?'" (Sahih al-Bukhari 6038)

He was gentle with Anas's family too. Whenever Anas's little brother was brought to him, the Prophet ﷺ would ask him: "Abu Umair, what did the little bird do?" (Sahih al-Bukhari 6203)

Ten years, from boyhood, in the closest service there is, and not one harsh word.
