الْعَجَبُ إِنَّ سُيُوفَنَا لَتَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَاءِ قُرَيْشٍ وَإن غَنَائِمَنَا تُرَدُّ عَلَيْهِمْ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيه وَسَلَّم فَدَعَا الأَنْصَارَ خَاصَّةً فَقَالَ مَا الَّذِي بَلَغَنِي عَنْكُمْ وَكَانُوا لَا يَكْذِبُونَ قَالُوا هُوَ الَّذِي بَلَغَكَ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَرْضَوْنَ أَن يَذْهَبَ النَّاسُ بِالْغَنَائِمِ إِلَى بُيُوتِهِمْ وَتَرْجِعُونَ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيه وَسَلَّم إِلَى بُيُوتِكُمْ قَالَ وَقال رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيه وَسَلَّم لَوْ سَلَكَتِ الأَنْصَارُ وَادِيًا أَوْ شِعْبًا لَسَلَكْتُ وَادِيَ الأَنْصَارِ أَوْ شِعْبَهُمْ

Collected by Bukhārī, Muslim, Tirmidhī, Aḥmad, Nasāʾī's Kubrá, BayhaqīOn the day of the Conquest of Mecca, when the Prophet ﷺ had given (from the booty) the Quraish, the Ansar said, "By Allah, this is indeed very strange: While our swords are still dribbling with the blood of Quraish, our war booty are distributed amongst them." When this news reached the Prophet ﷺ he called the Ansar and said, "What is this news that has reached me from you?" They used not to tell lies, so they replied, "What has reached you is true." He said, "Doesn't it please you that the people take the booty to their homes and you take Messenger of Allah ﷺ to your homes? If the Ansar took their way through a valley or a mountain pass, I would take the Ansar's valley or a mountain pass."
قَالَتِ الأَنْصَارُ يَوْمَ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ وَأَعْطَى قُرَيْشًا وَاللَّهِ إِنَّ هَذَا لَهُوَ الْعَجَبُ إِنَّ سُيُوفَنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَاءِ قُرَيْشٍ وَغَنَائِمُنَا تُرَدُّ عَلَيْهِمْ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَدَعَا الأَنْصَارَ قَالَ فَقَالَ مَا الَّذِي بَلَغَنِي عَنْكُمْ وَكَانُوا لاَ يَكْذِبُونَ فَقَالُوا هُوَ الَّذِي بَلَغَكَ قَالَ أَوَلاَ تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ النَّاسُ بِالْغَنَائِمِ إِلَى بُيُوتِهِمْ وَتَرْجِعُونَ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَى بُيُوتِكُمْ لَوْ سَلَكَتِ الأَنْصَارُ وَادِيًا أَوْ شِعْبًا لَسَلَكْتُ وَادِيَ الأَنْصَارِ أَوْ شِعْبَهُمْ
When Mecca was conquered, he (the Holy Prophet) distributed the spoils among the Quraish. Upon this the Ansar said: It is strange that our swords are dripping with their blood, whereas our spoils have been given to them (to the Quraish). This (remark) reached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and so he gathered them and said: What is this that has been conveyed to me about you? They said: (Yes) it is that very thing that, has reached you and they were not (the people) to speak a lie. Upon this he said: Don't you like that the people should return to their houses along with worldly riches, whereas you should return to your houses with the Messenger of Allah? If the people were to tread a valley or a narrow path, and the Ansar were also to tread a valley or a narrow path, I would tread the valley (along with the) Ansar or the narrow path (along with the) Ansar.
لَمَّا فُتِحَتْ مَكَّةُ قَسَمَ الْغَنَائِمَ فِي قُرَيْشٍ فَقَالَتِ الأَنْصَارُ إِنَّ هَذَا لَهُوَ الْعَجَبُ إِنَّ سُيُوفَنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ وَإِنَّ غَنَائِمَنَا تُرَدُّ عَلَيْهِمْ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَجَمَعَهُمْ فَقَالَ مَا الَّذِي بَلَغَنِي عَنْكُمْ قَالُوا هُوَ الَّذِي بَلَغَكَ وَكَانُوا لاَ يَكْذِبُونَ قَالَ أَمَا تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ النَّاسُ بِالدُّنْيَا إِلَى بُيُوتِهِمْ وَتَرْجِعُونَ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ إِلَى بُيُوتِكُمْ لَوْ سَلَكَ النَّاسُ وَادِيًا أَوْ شِعْبًا وَسَلَكَتِ الأَنْصَارُ وَادِيًا أَوْ شِعْبًا لَسَلَكْتُ وَادِيَ الأَنْصَارِ أَوْ شِعْبَ الأَنْصَارِ
that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gathered a group of people from the Ansar and said: "Come, is there anyone among you who is from other than you?" They said: "No, except the son of a sister of ours." So he said: "The son of the sister of a people is from them." Then he said: "Indeed the Quraish is not far from their time of ignorance and affliction, and I wished that I subdue them and coax them. Are you not happy that the people return with this world and you return to your homes with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" They said: "Of course we are." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "If the people were to pass through a valley or a path, and the Ansar passed through a valley or a path then I would pass through the valley or path of the Ansar."
جَمَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَاسًا مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ هَلُمَّ هَلْ فِيكُمْ أَحَدٌ مِنْ غَيْرِكُمْ قَالُوا لاَ إِلاَّ ابْنَ أُخْتٍ لَنَا فَقَالَ ﷺ إِنَّ ابْنَ أُخْتِ الْقَوْمِ مِنْهُمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ قُرَيْشًا حَدِيثٌ عَهْدُهُمْ بِجَاهِلِيَّةٍ وَمُصِيبَةٍ وَإِنِّي أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَجْبُرَهُمْ وَأَتَأَلَّفَهُمْ أَمَا تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ النَّاسُ بِالدُّنْيَا وَتَرْجِعُونَ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَى بُيُوتِكُمْ قَالُوا بَلَى فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَوْ سَلَكَ النَّاسُ وَادِيًا أَوْ شِعْبًا وَسَلَكَتِ الأَنْصَارُ وَادِيًا أَوْ شِعْبًا لَسَلَكْتُ وَادِيَ الأَنْصَارِ أَوْ شِعْبَهُمْ

قَالَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ يَوْمَ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ «إِنَّ سُيُوفَنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَاءِ قُرَيْشٍ وَيَذْهَبُ هَؤُلَاءِ بِالْغَنَائِمِ خَاصَّةً» فَقَالَ «مَا الَّذِي بَلَغَنِي عَنْكُمْ؟» وَكَانُوا لَا يَكْذِبُونَ قَالَ «هُوَ الَّذِي بَلَغَكَ» فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَمَا تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ هَؤُلَاءِ بِالْغَنَائِمِ إِلَى بُيُوتِهِمْ وَتَذْهَبُونَ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى بُيُوتِكُمْ؟» قَالَ وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَوْ سَلَكَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ وَادِيًا أَوْ شِعْبًا لَسَلَكْتُ وَادِيَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَوْ شِعْبَهُمْ»
[Machine] The Ansar said, "By Allah, this is strange! Indeed, our swords are dripping with the blood of the Quraysh, and our spoils are divided among them." When the Prophet ﷺ heard about this, he specifically sent a message to the Ansar and asked, "What is this news that we have heard about you?" They replied, "It is the truth that has reached you." He then said, "Do you not want the people to take the spoils while you return with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to your homes? If the people were to take a valley or a path, I would take the path of the Ansar." This hadith was narrated by Abu Abdullah, and in the narration of Abu al-Hasan, it was mentioned during the Battle of Hunayn. The rest is similar in meaning.
قَالَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ وَاللهِ إِنَّ هَذَا هُوَ الْعَجَبُ إِنَّ سُيُوفَنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَاءِ قُرَيْشٍ وَإِنَّ غَنَائِمَنَا تُقْسَمُ بَيْنَهُمْ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَبَعَثَ إِلَى الْأَنْصَارِ خَاصَّةً فَقَالَ مَا هَذَا الَّذِي بَلَغَنَا عَنْكُمْ؟ وَكَانُوا لَا يَكْذِبُونَ فَقَالُوا هُوَ الَّذِي بَلَغَكَ فَقَالَ أَمَا تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ النَّاسُ بِالْغَنَائِمِ وَتَذْهَبُوا بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى بُيُوتِكُمْ؟ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَوْ سَلَكَ النَّاسُ وَادِيًا أَوْ شِعْبًا سَلَكْتُ وَادِيَ الْأَنْصَارِ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ حُنَيْنٍ وَالْبَاقِي بِمَعْنَاهُ
