bukhari:2377al-Layth > Yaḥyá b. Saʿīd > Anas

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."  

البخاري:٢٣٧٧وَقَالَ اللَّيْثُ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ

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

Once the Prophet ﷺ called the Ansar in order to grant them part of the land of Bahrain. On that they said, "No! By Allah, we will not accept it unless you grant a similar thing to our Quarries brothers as well." He said, "That will be their's if Allah wishes." But when the Ansar persisted in their request, he said, "After me you will see others given preference over you in this respect (in which case) you should be patient till you meet me at the Tank (of Al-Kauthar).

That he heard Anas bin Malik when he went with him to Al-Walid, saying, "Once the Prophet ﷺ called the Ansar in order to give them the territory of Bahrain they said, 'No, unless you give to our emigrant brethren a similar share.' On that he said 'If you do not agree to it, then be patient till you meet me, for after me others will be given preference to you."'
