42. Distribution of Water
٤٢۔ كتاب المساقاة
The Prophet ﷺ called the Ansar so as to grant them a portion of (the land of) Bahrain. They said, "O Messenger of Allah ! If you grant this to is, write a similar document on our Quraish (emigrant) brothers." But the Prophet ﷺ did not have enough grants and he said: "After me you will see the people giving preference (to others), so be patient till you meet me."
عَنْ أَنَسٍ ؓ دَعَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الأَنْصَارَ لِيُقْطِعَ لَهُمْ بِالْبَحْرَيْنِ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنْ فَعَلْتَ فَاكْتُبْ لإِخْوَانِنَا مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ بِمِثْلِهَا فَلَمْ يَكُنْ ذَلِكَ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّكُمْ سَتَرَوْنَ بَعْدِي أَثَرَةً فَاصْبِرُوا حَتَّى تَلْقَوْنِي
