Al-Adab Al-Mufrad #968
Greetings
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ شَيْبَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُبَاتَةَ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ وَرْدَانَ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يُصَافِحُ النَّاسَ، فَسَأَلَنِي: مَنْ أَنْتَ؟ فَقُلْتُ: مَوْلًى لِبَنِي لَيْثٍ، فَمَسَحَ عَلَى رَأْسِي ثَلاَثًا وَقَالَ: بَارَكَ اللَّهُ فِيكَ.
Salama ibn Wardan said, "I saw Anas ibn Malik shake hands with
some people and he asked me, 'And who are you?' I said, 'The mawla of the
Banu Layth.' He stroked my head three times and said, 'May Allah bless
you.'"
