Musnad Ahmad 32:430

Abu Kamil narrated to us, Hammad narrated to us, once from Thabit, from Anas, and once from Humayd, from Anas ibn Malik, who said: "There was no person among the people more beloved to them than the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. When they saw him, none of them would stand up for him, because of what they knew of his dislike for that."
