Speaking of the history of Muslim moral thought, the age of the Companions is still unknown and unexplored. Common ideas in this period have survived in the form of Narrations. Attitudes are different in assessing their validity. One way in the histori-cal analysis of these narrations can be that by accepting the attribution of the narrations of each narrator and analyzing the content of their collection, we will try to reconstruct the symbolized character which these naarations present. In the present study, we should try to use such a method to analyze the moral narrations of Anas b. Malik (d. 93 AH), a companion living in Basra. This study is devoted to reviewing and analyzing the content of some of his moral narrations that reflect the general framework of his vision of the supreme good for human beings.
