When Allah gave to His Apostle the war booty on the day of Hunain, he distributed that booty amongst those whose hearts have been (recently) reconciled (to Islam), but did not give anything to the Ansar. So they seemed to have felt angry and sad as they did not get the same as other people had got. The Prophet ﷺ then delivered a sermon before them, saying, "O, the assembly of Ansar! Didn't I find you astray, and then Allah guided you on the Right Path through me? You were divided into groups, and Allah brought you together through me; you were poor and Allah made you rich through me." Whatever the Prophet ﷺ said , they (i.e. the Ansar) said, "Allah and his Apostle have more favours to do." The Prophet ﷺ said, "What stops you from answering the Messenger of Allah?" But whatever he said to them, they replied, "Allah and His Apostle have more favours to do." The Prophet ﷺ then said, "If you wish you could say: 'You came to us in such-and-such state (at Medina).' Wouldn't you be willing to see the people go away with sheep and camels while you go with the Prophet ﷺ to your homes? But for the migration, I would have been one of the Ansar, and if the people took their way through a valley or mountain pass, I would select the valley or mountain pass of the Ansar. The Ansar are Shiar (i.e. those clothes which are in direct contact with the body and worn inside the other garments), and the people are Dithar (i.e. those clothes which are not in direct contact with the body and are worn over other garments). No doubt, you will see other people favoured over you, so you should be patient till you meet me at the Tank (of Kauthar).

لَمَّا أَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ قَسَمَ فِي النَّاسِ فِي الْمُؤَلَّفَةِ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَلَمْ يُعْطِ الأَنْصَارَ شَيْئًا فَكَأَنَّهُمْ وَجَدُوا إِذْ لَمْ يُصِبْهُمْ مَا أَصَابَ النَّاسَ فَخَطَبَهُمْ فَقَالَ يَا مَعْشَرَ الأَنْصَارِ أَلَمْ أَجِدْكُمْ ضُلاَّلاً فَهَدَاكُمُ اللَّهُ بِي وَكُنْتُمْ مُتَفَرِّقِينَ فَأَلَّفَكُمُ اللَّهُ بِي وَعَالَةً فَأَغْنَاكُمُ اللَّهُ بِي كُلَّمَا قَالَ شَيْئًا قَالُوا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَمَنُّ قَالَ مَا يَمْنَعُكُمْ أَنْ تُجِيبُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ كُلَّمَا قَالَ شَيْئًا قَالُوا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَمَنُّ قَالَ لَوْ شِئْتُمْ قُلْتُمْ جِئْتَنَا كَذَا وَكَذَا أَتَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ النَّاسُ بِالشَّاةِ وَالْبَعِيرِ وَتَذْهَبُونَ بِالنَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِلَى رِحَالِكُمْ لَوْلاَ الْهِجْرَةُ لَكُنْتُ امْرَأً مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ وَلَوْ سَلَكَ النَّاسُ وَادِيًا وَشِعْبًا لَسَلَكْتُ وَادِيَ الأَنْصَارِ وَشِعْبَهَا الأَنْصَارُ شِعَارٌ وَالنَّاسُ دِثَارٌ إِنَّكُمْ سَتَلْقَوْنَ بَعْدِي أَثَرَةً فَاصْبِرُوا حَتَّى تَلْقَوْنِي عَلَى الْحَوْضِ

O people of Ansar, did I not find you erring and Allah guided you aright through me, and (in the state of) being destitute and Allah made you free from want through me, and in a state of disunity and Allah united you through me, and they (the Ansar) said: Allah and His Messenger are most benevolent. He (again) said: Why do you not answer me? They said: Allah and His Messenger are the most benevolent. He said, If you wish you should say so and so, and the event (should take) such and such course (and in this connection he made a mention) of so many things. 'Amr is under the impression that he has not been able to remember them. He (the Holy Prophet) further said: Don't you feel happy (over this state of affairs) that the people should go away with goats and camels, and you go to your places along with the Messenger of Allah? The Ansar are inner garments (more close to me) and (other) people are outer garments. Had there not been migration, I would have been a man from among the Ansar. If the people were to tread a valley or a narrow path, I would tread the valley (chosen) by the Ansar or narrow path (trodden) by them. And you would soon find after me preferences (over you in getting material benefits). So you should show patience till you meet me at the Haud (Kauthar).

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَمَّا فَتَحَ حُنَيْنًا قَسَمَ الْغَنَائِمَ فَأَعْطَى الْمُؤَلَّفَةَ قُلُوبُهُمْ فَبَلَغَهُ أَنَّ الأَنْصَارَ يُحِبُّونَ أَنْ يُصِيبُوا مَا أَصَابَ النَّاسُ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَخَطَبَهُمْ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا مَعْشَرَ الأَنْصَارِ أَلَمْ أَجِدْكُمْ ضُلاَّلاً فَهَدَاكُمُ اللَّهُ بِي وَعَالَةً فَأَغْنَاكُمُ اللَّهُ بِي وَمُتَفَرِّقِينَ فَجَمَعَكُمُ اللَّهُ بِي وَيَقُولُونَ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَمَنُّ فَقَالَ أَلاَ تُجِيبُونِي فَقَالُوا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَمَنُّ فَقَالَ أَمَا إِنَّكُمْ لَوْ شِئْتُمْ أَنْ تَقُولُوا كَذَا وَكَذَا وَكَانَ مِنَ الأَمْرِ كَذَا وَكَذَا لأَشْيَاءَ عَدَّدَهَا زَعَمَ عَمْرٌو أَنْ لاَ يَحْفَظُهَا فَقَالَ أَلاَ تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ النَّاسُ بِالشَّاءِ وَالإِبِلِ وَتَذْهَبُونَ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ إِلَى رِحَالِكُمُ الأَنْصَارُ شِعَارٌ وَالنَّاسُ دِثَارٌ وَلَوْلاَ الْهِجْرَةُ لَكُنْتُ امْرَأً مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ وَلَوْ سَلَكَ النَّاسُ وَادِيًا وَشِعْبًا لَسَلَكْتُ وَادِيَ الأَنْصَارِ وَشِعْبَهُمْ إِنَّكُمْ سَتَلْقَوْنَ بَعْدِي أَثَرَةً فَاصْبِرُوا حَتَّى تَلْقَوْنِي عَلَى الْحَوْضِ

[AI] "People from the Ansar gathered and said, 'He favors others over us'. The Prophet ﷺ heard about this and called them together. He addressed them, saying, 'O people of the Ansar, were you not humiliated and then Allah honored you? They replied, 'Indeed, Allah and His Messenger spoke the truth'. He then asked, 'Were you not misguided and Allah guided you?' They replied, 'Indeed, Allah and His Messenger spoke the truth'. He continued, 'Were you not in poverty and Allah made you rich?' They replied, 'Indeed, Allah and His Messenger spoke the truth'. Then he said, 'Will you not answer me? Will you not say that when you were driven away, we took you in, and when you came to us scared, we gave you safety? Are you not pleased that people take away sheep and camels while you take away the Messenger of Allah to your homes?' If people had traveled through a valley or pass while you also traveled through that valley or pass, I would choose your valley or pass. By Allah, if there was no migration, I would have been one from the Ansar. And certainly, you will meet me by the Pond (in Paradise), so be patient until you meet me there.'"

(Note: The last part of the passage is referring to an event in Islamic history known as the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah.)

اجْتَمَعَ أُنَاسٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالُوا آثَرَ عَلَيْنَا غَيْرَنَا فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَجَمَعَهُمْ ثُمَّ خَطَبَهُمْ فَقَالَ يَا مَعْشَرَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَلَمْ تَكُونُوا أَذِلَّةً فَأَعَزَّكُمُ اللهُ؟ قَالُوا صَدَقَ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ قَالَ أَلَمْ تَكُونُوا ضُلَّالًا فَهَدَاكُمُ اللهُ؟ قَالُوا صَدَقَ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ قَالَ أَلَمْ تَكُونُوا فُقَرَاءَ فَأَغْنَاكُمُ اللهُ؟ قَالُوا صَدَقَ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَلَا تُجِيبُونَنِي؟ أَلَا تَقُولُونَ أَتَيْتَنَا طَرِيدًا فَآوَيْنَاكَ وَأَتَيْتَنَا خَائِفًا فَآمَنَّاكَ أَلَا تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ النَّاسُ بِالشَّاءِ وَالْبُقْرَانِ يَعْنِي الْبَقَرَ وَتَذْهَبُونَ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ فَتُدْخِلُونَهُ بُيُوتَكُمْ لَوْ أَنَّ النَّاسَ سَلَكُوا وَادِيًا أَوْ شُعْبَةً وَسَلَكْتُمْ وَادِيًا أَوْ شُعْبَةً لَسَلَكْتُ وَادِيَكُمْ أَوْ شُعْبَتَكُمْ لَوْلَا الْهِجْرَةُ لَكُنْتُ امْرَأً مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ وَإِنَّكُمْ سَتَلْقَوْنَ بَعْدِي أَثَرَةً فَاصْبِرُوا حَتَّى تَلْقَوْنِي عَلَى الْحَوْضِ

[AI] "When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave what he gave from those gifts to the Quraysh and the Arab tribes, the Ansar did not have anything from them. This concern started to occupy the hearts of some of the Ansar until the saying spread among them until some of them said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ met his people and Sa'd ibn 'Ubadah entered upon him and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, this concern has troubled the hearts of the Ansar indefinitely due to what you distributed of this booty among your people and gave your tribes great gifts, while the Ansar did not receive anything from it." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, "What about you, O Sa'd?" He replied, "O Messenger of Allah, I am just a man from my people. And who am I?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Gather your people for me in this courtyard." So Sa'd went out and gathered the Ansar in that courtyard. Then some of the Muhajireen entered and Sa'd left them, but when others came, he admitted them. When they had assembled, Sa'd came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "This concern has gathered the Ansar for you, O Messenger of Allah." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to them and praised Allah and lauded Him appropriately for what He had bestowed on them, then he said, "O Ansar, I was informed of your concern and I found it in your hearts and were you not misguided and then Allah guided you? Were you not destitute and then Allah enriched you? Were you not enemies and then Allah brought your hearts together?" They replied, "Indeed, by Allah and His Messenger!" He said, "Will you not then answer me, O Ansar?" They asked, "And what is it that we should say, O Messenger of Allah, when Allah and His Messenger spoke the truth?" He said, "I swear by Allah, if you had wished, you could have said so, and you would have told the truth and believed. You came to us as liars and we believed you, forsaken and we helped you, fugitive and we sheltered you, and poor and we enriched you. Did you not find in yourselves, O Ansar, a disposition towards this world that I made some people embrace Islam and entrusted you with it? Are you not pleased, O Ansar, that people take away livestock while you return with the Messenger of Allah in your camels? By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, if it were not for migration, I would surely be one of the Ansar. If the people were to take one path and the Ansar another, I would follow the path of the Ansar. O Allah, have mercy on the Ansar and the sons of the Ansar and the sons of the sons of the Ansar." The people began to cry until their tears wet their cheeks, and they said, "We are pleased with the Messenger of Allah's distribution and share." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ departed and the people dispersed."

[AI] The Prophet ﷺ gave from the spoils of Hunayn to Uyaynah, Al-Aqra', and others, so the Ansar said, "Will he give away our spoils, while our swords are still dripping with their blood or their blood is still dripping from our swords?" When the Prophet ﷺ learned of this, he called the Ansar and said, "O people of the Ansar, would you not be pleased if the people took worldly possessions and you took Muhammad to your homes?" They said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "By the One in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, if the people were to go down one valley and the Ansar were to go down another, I would go down the valley of the Ansar. The Ansar are my support and my refuge. If it were not for the migration, I would have been from the Ansar."

أَعْطَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِنْ غَنَائِمِ حُنَيْنٍ عُيَيْنَةَ وَالْأَقْرَعَ وَغَيْرَهُمَا فَقَالَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ أَيُعْطِي غَنَائِمَنَا مَنْ تَقْطُرُ سُيُوفُنَا مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ أَوْ تَقْطُرُ دِمَاؤُهُمْ مِنْ سُيُوفِنَا فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَدَعَا الْأَنْصَارَ فَقَالَ يَا مَعْشَرَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَمَا تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ النَّاسُ بِالدُّنْيَا وَتَذْهَبُونَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ إِلَى دِيَارِكُمْ؟ قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَوْ سَلَكَ النَّاسُ وَادِيًا وَسَلَكَتْ الْأَنْصَارُ شِعْبًا لَسَلَكْتُ شِعْبَ الْأَنْصَارِ الْأَنْصَارُ كَرِشِي وَعَيْبَتِي وَلَوْلَا الْهِجْرَةُ لَكُنْتُ امْرَأً مِنَالْأَنْصَارِ

[AI] The Prophet ﷺ gave from the spoils of Hunayn a hundred camels to Al-Aqra' bin Habis, and a hundred camels to Uyaynah bin Hisn. Some of the Ansar said, "The Messenger of Allah is giving our spoils to people whose swords are still dripping with our blood, or whose swords are dripping with their blood." When the Prophet ﷺ heard this, he sent a message to the Ansar and asked, "Is there anyone among you who is not from your own people?" They replied, "Only the son of our sister." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The son of a people is from among them. It seems you said such and such. Are you not pleased that people should go with worldly goods while you go with Muhammad to your homes?" They replied, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, if people were to take a valley or a mountain, I would choose the valley of the Ansar, or their mountain. The Ansar are my support and my refuge. If it were not for migration, I would have been one of the Ansar."

أَعْطَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِنْ غَنَائِمِ حُنَيْنٍ الْأَقْرَعَ بْنَ حَابِسٍ مِائَةً مِنَ الْإِبِلِ وَعُيَيْنَةَ بْنَ حِصْنٍ مِائَةً مِنَ الْإِبِلِ فَقَالَ نَاسٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يُعْطِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ غَنَائِمَنَا نَاسًا تَقْطُرُ سُيُوفُهُمْ مِنْ دِمَائِنَا أَوْ تَقْطُرُ سُيُوفُنَا مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ فَبَلَغَهُ ذَلِكَ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ هَلْ فِيكُمْ مِنْ غَيْرِكُمْ؟ قَالُوا لَا إِلَّا ابْنُ أُخْتٍ لَنَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ابْنُ أُخْتِ الْقَوْمِ مِنْهُمْ أَقُلْتُمْ كَذَا وَكَذَا أَمَا تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ النَّاسُ بِالدُّنْيَا وَتَذْهَبُونَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ إِلَى دِيَارِكُمْ؟ قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوْ أَخَذَ النَّاسُ وَادِيًا أَوْ شِعْبًا أَخَذْتُ وَادِيَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَوْ شِعْبَهُمْ الْأَنْصَارُ كَرِشِي وَعَيْبَتِي وَلَوْلَا الْهِجْرَةُ لَكُنْتُ امْرَأً مِنَالْأَنْصَارِ

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave Abu Sufyan, Uyaynah, Al-Aqra', and Suhayl ibn Amr and others from the spoils of Hunayn. The Ansar said, "O Messenger of Allah, our swords are dripping with their blood while they take the spoils." When the Prophet ﷺ heard about this, he gathered them in a tent until it became full and asked, "Is there anyone among you who is not satisfied?" They replied, "Only the son of our aunt." He said, "The nephew of a people is from them." He then asked, "Did you say this and that?" They replied, "Yes." He said, "You are the banner and the people are the dust. Are you not satisfied that the people take sheep and camels while you go with the Messenger of Allah to your homes?" They replied, "Yes." The Ansar said, "If people travel through a valley, and the Ansar travel through another, I would travel with the Ansar. If it were not for Hijrah, I would have been one of the Ansar." Hammad said, "He gave each of them a hundred camels, and each of them gave a name to his camel."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَعْطَى أَبَا سُفْيَانَ وَعُيَيْنَةَ وَالْأَقْرَعَ وَسُهَيْلَ بْنَ عَمَرٍو فِي الْآخِرِينَ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ فَقَالَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ سُيُوفُنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ وَهُمْ يَذْهَبُونَ بِالْمَغْنَمِ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَجَمَعَهُمْ فِي قُبَّةٍ لَهُ حَتَّى فَاضَتْ فَقَالَ أَفِيكُمْ أَحَدٌ مِنْ غَيْرِكُمْ؟ قَالُوا لَا إِلَّا ابْنُ أُخْتِنَا قَالَ ابْنُ أُخْتِ الْقَوْمِ مِنْهُمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَقُلْتُمْ كَذَا وَكَذَا؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ أَنْتُمُ الشِّعَارُ وَالنَّاسُ الدِّثَارُ أَمَا تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْيَذْهَبَ النَّاسُ بِالشَّاةِ وَالْبَعِيرِ وَتَذْهَبُونَ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ إِلَى دِيَارِكُمْ؟ قَالُوا بَلَى قَالَ الْأَنْصَارُ كَرِشِي وَعَيْبَتِي لَوْ سَلَكَ النَّاسُ وَادِيًا وَسَلَكَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ شِعْبًا لَسَلَكْتُ شِعْبَهُمْ وَلَوْلَا الْهِجْرَةُ لَكُنْتُ امْرَأً مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ وَقَالَ حَمَّادٌ أَعْطَى مِائَةً مِنَ الْإِبِلِ يُسَمِّي كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ هَؤُلَاءِ

When Allah gave to His Apostle the war booty on the day of Hunain, he distributed that booty amongst those whose hearts have been (recently) reconciled (to Islam), but did not give anything to the Ansar. So they seemed to have felt angry and sad as they did not get the same as other people had got. The Prophet ﷺ then delivered a sermon before them, saying, "O, the assembly of Ansar! Didn't I find you astray, and then Allah guided you on the Right Path through me? You were divided into groups, and Allah brought you together through me; you were poor and Allah made you rich through me." Whatever the Prophet ﷺ said , they (i.e. the Ansar) said, "Allah and his Apostle have more favours to do." The Prophet ﷺ said, "What stops you from answering the Messenger of Allah?" But whatever he said to them, they replied, "Allah and His Apostle have more favours to do." The Prophet ﷺ then said, "If you wish you could say: 'You came to us in such-and-such state (at Medina).' Wouldn't you be willing to see the people go away with sheep and camels while you go with the Prophet ﷺ to your homes? But for the migration, I would have been one of the Ansar, and if the people took their way through a valley or mountain pass, I would select the valley or mountain pass of the Ansar. The Ansar are Shiar (i.e. those clothes which are in direct contact with the body and worn inside the other garments), and the people are Dithar (i.e. those clothes which are not in direct contact with the body and are worn over other garments). No doubt, you will see other people favoured over you, so you should be patient till you meet me at the Tank (of Kauthar). (Using translation from Bukhārī 4330)

لَمَّا أَفَاءَ اللهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ مَا أَفَاءَ قَالَ قَسَمَ فِي النَّاسِ فِي الْمُؤَلَّفَةِ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَلَمْ يَقْسِمْ وَلَمْ يُعْطِ الْأَنْصَارَ شَيْئًا فَكَأَنَّهُمْ وَجَدُوا إِذْ لَمْ يُصِبْهُمْ مَا أَصَابَ النَّاسَ فَخَطَبَهُمْ فَقَالَ يَا مَعْشَرَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَلَمْ أَجِدْكُمْ ضُلَّالًا فَهَدَاكُمُ اللهُ بِي وَكُنْتُمْ مُتَفَرِّقِينَ فَجَمَعَكُمُ اللهُ بِي وَعَالَةً فَأَغْنَاكُمُ اللهُ بِي قَالَ كُلَّمَا قَالَ شَيْئًا قَالُوا اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَمَنُّ قَالَ مَا يَمْنَعُكُمْ أَنْ تُجِيبُونِي؟ قَالُوا اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَمَنُّ قَالَ لَوْ شِئْتُمْ لَقُلْتُمْ جِئْتَنَا كَذَا وَكَذَا أَلَا تَرْضَوْنَأَنْ يَذْهَبَ النَّاسُ بِالشَّاةِ وَالْبَعِيرِ وَتَذْهَبُونَ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ إِلَى رِحَالِكُمْ لَوْلَا الْهِجْرَةُ لَكُنْتُ امْرَأً مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ لَوْ سَلَكَ النَّاسُ وَادِيًا وَشِعْبًا لَسَلَكْتُ وَادِيَ الْأَنْصَارِ وَشِعْبَهُمْ الْأَنْصَارُ شِعَارٌ وَالنَّاسُ دِثَارٌ وَإِنَّكُمْ سَتَلْقَوْنَ بَعْدِي أَثَرَةً فَاصْبِرُوا حَتَّى تَلْقَوْنِي عَلَى الْحَوْضِ

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ distributed the spoils of Hunayn, giving a hundred camels to Al-Arqam bin Habis, and a hundred camels to Uyaynah bin Badr. He also mentioned a group from the Ansar and they said, "O Messenger of Allah, will you be giving our spoils to a people whose swords are dripping with our blood, or will their blood mix with our swords?" When he was informed of this, he gathered the Ansar and said, "Is there anyone among you besides these two?" They said, "No, except for the son of our maternal aunt." He (the Prophet) said, "The nephew of the people is from them." Then he said, "O group of the Ansar, do you not want the people to take the worldly possessions and the cattle while you take Muhammad to your homes?" They said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "By the One in whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad, if the people took a valley and the Ansar took a mound, I would take the mound of the Ansar. The Ansar are my supporters, my confidants, and if not for the Hijra, I would have been one of the Ansar."

قَسَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ غَنَائِمَ حُنَيْنٍ فَأَعْطَى الْأَقْرَعَ بْنَ حَابِسٍ مِائَةً مِنَ الْإِبِلِ وَعُيَيْنَةَ بْنَ بَدْرٍ مِائَةً مِنَ الْإِبِلِ وَذَكَرَ نَفَرًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تُعْطِي غَنَائِمَنَا قَوْمًا تَقْطُرُ سُيُوفُنَا مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ أَوْ تَقْطُرُ دِمَاؤُهُمْ فِي سُيُوفِنَا فَبَلَغَهُ ذَلِكَ فَجَمَعَ الْأَنْصَارَ فَقَالَ «هَلْ فِيكُمْ غَيْرُكُمْ؟ » فَقَالُوا لَا غَيْرَ ابْنِ أُخْتِنَا قَالَ «ابْنُ أُخْتِ الْقَوْمِ مِنْهُمْ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا مَعْشَرَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَمَا تَرْغَبُونَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ النَّاسُ بِالدُّنْيَا أَوْ بِالشَّاءِ وَالْإِبِلِ وَتَذْهَبُونَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ إِلَى دِيَارِكُمْ؟ » قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ «وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَوْ أَخَذَ النَّاسُ وَادِيًا وَأَخَذَ الْأَنْصَارُ شِعْبًا لَأَخَذْتُ شِعْبَ الْأَنْصَارِ الْأَنْصَارُ كَرِشِي وَعَيْبَتِي وَلَوْلَا الْهِجْرَةُ لَكُنْتُ امْرَأً مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ»

قَالَ قَالَ أَنَسٌ أَعْطَى النَّبِيّ ﷺ مِنْ مَغَانِمِ خَيْبَرَ الأَقْرَعَ بن حابس مِئَة من الإبل وعُيَيْنة بن بدر مِئَة مِنَ الإِبِلِ فَقَالَ نَاسٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ نُعْطِي غَنَائِمَنَا قَوْمًا سُيُوفُنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ أَوْ دِمَاؤُهُمْ تَقْطُرُ مِنْ سُيُوفِنَا فَلَمَّا اجْتَمَعَتْ إِلَيْهِ الأَنْصَارُ قَالَ هَلْ فِيكُمْ غَيْرُكُمْ؟ قَالُوا لا إلاَّ ابْنُ أُخْتِنَا قَالَ ابْنُ أُخْتِ الْقَوْمِ مِنْهُمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَلَا تَرْضَوْنَ يَا مَعْشَرَ الأَنْصَارِ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ النَّاسُ بِالدُّنْيَا أَوْ قَالَ بِالإِبِلِ وَالشَّاءِ وَتَذْهَبُونَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ إِلَى دِيَارِكُمْ قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسولَ اللهِ فَقَالَ لَوْ أَخَذَ النَّاسُ وَادِيًا وَأَخَذَتِ الأَنْصَارُ شِعْبًا لأَخَذْتُ شِعْبَ الأَنْصَارِ الأَنْصَارُ كَرِشِي وعيبتي ولولاَ الهجرة لكنت امْرَءًا من الأنصار

When Allah gave to His Apostle the war booty on the day of Hunain, he distributed that booty amongst those whose hearts have been (recently) reconciled (to Islam), but did not give anything to the Ansar. So they seemed to have felt angry and sad as they did not get the same as other people had got. The Prophet ﷺ then delivered a sermon before them, saying, "O, the assembly of Ansar! Didn't I find you astray, and then Allah guided you on the Right Path through me? You were divided into groups, and Allah brought you together through me; you were poor and Allah made you rich through me." Whatever the Prophet ﷺ said , they (i.e. the Ansar) said, "Allah and his Apostle have more favours to do." The Prophet ﷺ said, "What stops you from answering the Messenger of Allah?" But whatever he said to them, they replied, "Allah and His Apostle have more favours to do." The Prophet ﷺ then said, "If you wish you could say: 'You came to us in such-and-such state (at Medina).' Wouldn't you be willing to see the people go away with sheep and camels while you go with the Prophet ﷺ to your homes? But for the migration, I would have been one of the Ansar, and if the people took their way through a valley or mountain pass, I would select the valley or mountain pass of the Ansar. The Ansar are Shiar (i.e. those clothes which are in direct contact with the body and worn inside the other garments), and the people are Dithar (i.e. those clothes which are not in direct contact with the body and are worn over other garments). No doubt, you will see other people favoured over you, so you should be patient till you meet me at the Tank (of Kauthar). (Using translation from Bukhārī 4330)
