Chapter 48 · The Book of the Merits of the Companionsفِي حُسْنِ صُحْبَةِ الأَنْصَارِ رضى الله عنهم
حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَابْنُ بَشَّارٍ، جَمِيعًا عَنِ ابْنِ عَرْعَرَةَ - وَاللَّفْظُ لِلْجَهْضَمِيِّ - حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَرْعَرَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: خَرَجْتُ مَعَ جَرِيرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْبَجَلِيِّ فِي سَفَرٍ فَكَانَ يَخْدُمُنِي فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: لَا تَفْعَلْ، فَقَالَ: «إِنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُ الْأَنْصَارَ تَصْنَعُ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَيْئًا، آلَيْتُ أَنْ لَا أَصْحَبَ أَحَدًا مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا خَدَمْتُهُ». زَادَ ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَابْنُ بَشَّارٍ فِي حَدِيثِهِمَا: وَكَانَ جَرِيرٌ أَكْبَرَ مِنْ أَنَسٍ، وَقَالَ ابْنُ بَشَّارٍ: أَسَنَّ مِنْ أَنَسٍ.

Keeping Good Company With The Ansar (RA)
I set out along with Jarir bin 'Abdullah al-Bajali رضی اللہ عنہ on a journey and he used to serve me. I said to him: Don't do that. Thereupon he said: I have seen Ansar doing this with Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ). I swore by Allah whenever I accompany any one of the Ansar, I would serve him and Ibn Muthanni, and Ibn Bashshir made this addition in their narrations: Jarir رضی اللہ عنہ was older than Anas رضی اللہ عنہ , and Ibn Bashshir said: He was of a more advanced age as compared with Anas رضی اللہ عنہ.
