安斯也记录了他自己收集的圣训。赛义德·本·希拉勒在哈基姆的《穆斯塔德拉克》中说：

Anas also wrote down his collection of ahadith. Sa‘id ibn Hilal says in the Mustadrak of Hakim:

当我们问了很多问题时,阿奈斯会拿出一个大袋子,打开它,然后说:“这些是我从蒙福的先知ﷺ那里听到的圣训。我把它们记录了下来,并且已经拿给蒙福的先知ﷺ看过了。”37

When we asked a lot of questions, Anas pulled out a big bag, opened it and would say, “These are the ahadith that I have heard from the Blessed Prophet (PBUH). I wrote them down and have already shown them to the Blessed Prophet (PBUH).”37

本引言的大意是：安拉（SWTH）创造了某些工具，例如阿拉伯人的过目不忘的记忆力，用以帮助保存圣训。随后，祂通过圣门弟子的生活让这些知识具备了实践的形态，以保护它不致沦为另一种哲学。这种保存是借助“实践原则”而实现的。接着，祂又造就了学者及其学生，他们毕生致力于记录这些圣训。再后来，时机到来，数以百计的学者将所有圣训汇编成册。我们将在本书后面的章节中讨论这最后一个阶段。

The summary of this introduction is that Allah (SWTH) created certain tools, like the photographic memories of the Arabs, to help preserve the ahadith. He then gave this knowledge a practical shape through the lives of the Sahaba to protect it from becoming another philosophy. This preservation came by way of the principle of practice. Then He produced the scholars and their students, who dedicated their lives to documenting these aúódõth. Then a time came when hundreds of scholars compiled all of the ahadith and put them in book form. We will discuss this last stage in the later sections of this book.
