Anas رضي الله عنه used to serve Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم and he did so for 10 years. So, once Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم asked Anas رضي الله عنه who was a young boy at that time, to carry out an errand which he initially refused but then he accepted to perform. It was a long time since Anas رضي الله عنه had returned so Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم went outside to look for him. He صلى الله عليه و سلم found Anas رضي الله عنه playing with a group of children. So Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم went close to Anas رضي الله عنه and from behind he pulled his ear very slightly and said smilingly, “O’ Anas, you are still here?” So Anas رضي الله عنه replied, “Ok Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم I am going, I am going!”
