We took part in the holy battle of Tabuk in the company of the Prophet ﷺ and when we arrived at the Wadi-al-Qura, there was a woman in her garden. The Prophet ﷺ asked his companions to estimate the amount of the fruits in the garden, and Messenger of Allah ﷺ estimated it at ten Awsuq (One Wasaq = 60 Sa's) and 1 Sa'= 3 kg. approximately). The Prophet ﷺ said to that lady, "Check what your garden will yield." When we reached Tabuk, the Prophet ﷺ said, "There will be a strong wind tonight and so no one should stand and whoever has a camel, should fasten it." So we fastened our camels. A strong wind blew at night and a man stood up and he was blown away to a mountain called Taiy, The King of Aila sent a white mule and a sheet for wearing to the Prophet ﷺ as a present, and wrote to the Prophet ﷺ that his people would stay in their place (and will pay Jizya taxation.) (1) When the Prophet ﷺ reached Wadi-al- Qura he asked that woman how much her garden had yielded. She said, "Ten Awsuq," and that was what Messenger of Allah ﷺ had estimated. Then the Prophet ﷺ said, "I want to reach Medina quickly, and whoever among you wants to accompany me, should hurry up." The sub-narrator Ibn Bakkar said something which meant: When the Prophet ﷺ saw Medina he said, "This is Taba." And when he saw the mountain of Uhud, he said, "This mountain loves us and we love it. Shall I tell you of the best amongst the Ansar?" They replied in the affirmative. He said, "The family of Bani-n-Najjar, and then the family of Bani Saʿida or Bani Al-Harith bin Al-Khazraj. (The above-mentioned are the best) but there is goodness in all the families of Ansar."  

غَزَوْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ غَزْوَةَ تَبُوكَ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ وَادِيَ الْقُرَى إِذَا امْرَأَةٌ فِي حَدِيقَةٍ لَهَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لأَصْحَابِهِ اخْرُصُوا وَخَرَصَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَشَرَةَ أَوْسُقٍ فَقَالَ لَهَا أَحْصِي مَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا فَلَمَّا أَتَيْنَا تَبُوكَ قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّهَا سَتَهُبُّ اللَّيْلَةَ رِيحٌ شَدِيدَةٌ فَلاَ يَقُومَنَّ أَحَدٌ وَمَنْ كَانَ مَعَهُ بَعِيرٌ فَلْيَعْقِلْهُ فَعَقَلْنَاهَا وَهَبَّتْ رِيحٌ شَدِيدَةٌ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَأَلْقَتْهُ بِجَبَلِ طَيِّئٍ وَأَهْدَى مَلِكُ أَيْلَةَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ بَغْلَةً بَيْضَاءَ وَكَسَاهُ بُرْدًا وَكَتَبَ لَهُ بِبَحْرِهِمْ فَلَمَّا أَتَى وَادِيَ الْقُرَى قَالَ لِلْمَرْأَةِ كَمْ جَاءَ حَدِيقَتُكِ قَالَتْ عَشَرَةَ أَوْسُقٍ خَرْصَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنِّي مُتَعَجِّلٌ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَمَنْ أَرَادَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَتَعَجَّلَ مَعِي فَلْيَتَعَجَّلْ فَلَمَّا قَالَ ابْنُ بَكَّارٍ كَلِمَةً مَعْنَاهَا أَشْرَفَ عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ قَالَ هَذِهِ طَابَةُ فَلَمَّا رَأَى أُحُدًا قَالَ هَذَا جُبَيْلٌ يُحِبُّنَا وَنُحِبُّهُ أَلاَ أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِخَيْرِ دُورِ الأَنْصَارِ قَالُوا بَلَى قَالَ دُورُ بَنِي النَّجَّارِ ثُمَّ دُورُ بَنِي عَبْدِ الأَشْهَلِ ثُمَّ دُورُ بَنِي سَاعِدَةَ أَوْ دُورُ بَنِي الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْخَزْرَجِ وَفِي كُلِّ دُورِ الأَنْصَارِ يَعْنِي خَيْرًا وَقَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ بِلاَلٍ حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرٌو ثُمَّ دَارُ بَنِي الْحَارِثِ ثُمَّ بَنِي سَاعِدَةَ وَقَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ غَزِيَّةَ عَنْ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ أُحُدٌ جَبَلٌ يُحِبُّنَا وَنُحِبُّهُ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ كُلُّ بُسْتَانٍ عَلَيْهِ حَائِطٌ فَهْوَ حَدِيقَةٌ وَمَا لَمْ يَكُنْ عَلَيْهِ حَائِطٌ لَمْ يَقُلْ حَدِيقَةٌ  

We went out with Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the expedition to Tabuk and we came to a wadi where there was a garden belonging to a woman. Allah's Apostle ﷺ said. Make an assessment (of the price of its fruit). And Messenger of Allah ﷺ also made an assessment and it was ten wasqs. He asked that lady (to calculate the amount) until they would, God willing, come back to her. So we proceeded on until we came to Tabuk and Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The violent storm will overtake you during the night, so none amongst you should stand up and he who has a camel with him should hobble it firmly. A violent storm blew and a person who had stood up was carried away by the storm and thrown between the mountains of Tayy. Then the messenger of the son of al 'Alma', the ruler of Aila, came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ with a letter and a gift of a white mule. Messenger of Allah ﷺ wrote him (the reply) and presented him a cloak. We came back until we halted in the Wadi al-Qura. Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked that lady about her garden and the price of the fruits in that. She said: Ten wasqs. Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: I am going to depart, and he who amongst you wishes may depart with me but he who wants to stay may stay. We resumed the journey until we came to the outskirts of Medina. (It was at this time) that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: This is Taba, this is Uhud, that is a mountain which loves us and we love it, and then said: The best amongst the houses of the Ansar is the house of Bani Najjar. Then the house of Bani Abd al-Ashhal, then the house of Bani Abd al-Harith b. Khazraj, then the house of Bani Sa'ida, and there is goodness in all the houses of the Ansar. Said b. Ubada came to us and Abu Usaid said to him: Did you not see that Messenger of Allah ﷺ has declared the houses of the Ansar good and he has kept us at the end. Said met Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: Messenger of Allah, you have declared the house of the Ansar as good and have kept us at the end, whereupon he said: Is it not enough for you that you have been counted amongst the good.

[Machine] "We went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to Tabuk until we reached the Valley of Qura. There was a woman in a garden, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Pluck some.' The people plucked ten bunches of grapes and he said to the woman, 'Count what comes out of it until I return to you.' So he continued until he reached Tabuk and said, 'Tonight a very strong wind will come to you, so no one should stand in it. And whoever has a camel, let him tie its reins.' A very strong wind blew, and no one stood in it except for one man whom it threw into the mount of Tayy. The king of Ayilah came to him and gave him a white mule and dressed him in the Messenger of Allah's cloak. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned and came to the Valley of Qura, he said to the woman, 'How much has your garden produced?' She said, 'Ten bunches.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ plucked them, then he said, 'Indeed, I am in a hurry, so whoever among you wants to hurry with me, let him do so.' He continued until he reached Madinah and said, 'This is Tayyibah or Tabah.' When he saw Uhud, he said, 'This is a mountain that loves us and we love it.' Then he said, 'Shall I not tell you about the best of the Ansar (helpers)?' They said, 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah.' He said, 'The best of the Ansar are Banu Najjar. Shall I not tell you about those who follow them?' They said, 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah.' He said, 'Banu Sa'ida and Banu Al-Harith ibn Khazraj.'"

[Machine] We went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to the year of Tabuk, until we reached Wadi Al-Qura. Then, we saw a woman in her garden. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to his companions, "Back away." So, the people backed away, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ backed away about ten paces. Then, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to the woman, "Count what comes out of it until I return to you, if Allah wills." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ proceeded until he reached Tabuk. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A strong wind will blow upon you tonight. No man should stand in it. Whoever has a camel, let him tie its harness." Abu Humayd said, "We secured it, and when it was nighttime, a wind blew upon us. A man stood in it, and it threw him into a rocky mountain. Then, the Angel of Aylah came to him and presented a white she-mule to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . The Messenger of Allah ﷺ clothed it with a saddle blanket and wrote for him. Then, he moved forward, and we moved with him until we reached Wadi Al-Qura. He said to the woman, "How many gardens do you have?" She said, "Ten gardens." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ counted them, and then he said, "I am in a hurry. Whoever among you wants to hurry with me, let him do so." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out, and we went out with him until he entered Madinah. He said, "This is Tabah." When he saw Uhud, he said, "This is Uhud, it loves us, and we love it. Shall I inform you of the best homes of the Ansar?" They said, "Yes." He said, "The best homes of the Ansar are Banu An-Najjar, then the houses of Banu Abdul Ashhal, then the houses of Banu Al-Harith, then the houses of Banu Sa'ida, and in every home of the Ansar is goodness."
