[Machine] The distinguished companions appealed to the believers and gathered near the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ asking him to provide them with a flowing river. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ welcomed them, saying, "Welcome, O Ansar (helpers)! Welcome, O Ansar!" I swear by Allah, you do not ask me for anything today except that I will give it to you, and I do not ask Allah for anything except that He grants it to me." Some of them said to others, "Let's seize this opportunity and ask for forgiveness." So they said, "O Messenger of Allah, supplicate to Allah for forgiveness for us." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Allah, forgive the Ansar, and the children of the Ansar, and the grandchildren of the Ansar."
