“When the Day of Resurrection comes, I will be the leader of the Prophets and the one who addresses them, and the one among them who will agree to intercede, and it is no boast.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4314)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ كُنْتُ إِمَامَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَخَطِيبَهُمْ وَصَاحِبَ شَفَاعَتِهِمْ غَيْرَ فَخْرٍ» صحيح  

[Machine] He said, "Indeed, the last sermon that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ delivered, he said, 'O congregation of Emigrants, indeed you have increased in number while the Ansar (Helpers) have ceased to exist. And they are my trust that I seek refuge with. So honor their righteous and overlook their wrongdoers.'"  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّ آخِرَ خُطْبَةٍ خَطَبَنَاهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «يَا مَعْشَرَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ إِنَّكُمْ قَدْ أَصْبَحْتُمْ تَزِيدُونَ وَإِنَّ الْأَنْصَارَ قَدِ انْتَهَوْا وَإِنَّهُمْ عَيْبَتِي الَّتِي آوِي إِلَيْهَا فَأَكْرِمُوا مُحْسِنَهُمْ وَتَجَاوَزُوا عَنْ مُسِيئِهِمْ»  

[Machine] The prophet ﷺ went out during his illness, with his head wrapped in a cloth, and said, "Indeed, people have increased while the Ansar [the supporters of the Prophet] have decreased until they become like salt in the food. So whoever among you is entrusted with any task, let him accept from the well-doers among them and overlook the wrongdoers."  

خَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي مَرَضِهِ وَقَدْ عَصَبَ رَأْسَهُ بِخِرْقَةٍ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ النَّاسَ يَكْثُرُونَ وَيَقِلُّ الْأَنْصَارُ حَتَّى يَكُونُوا فِي النَّاسِ مِثْلَ الْمِلْحِ فِي الطَّعَامِ فَمَنْ وَلِيَ مِنْكُمْ عَمَلًا فَلْيَقْبَلْ مِنْ مُحْسِنِهِمْ وَيَتَجَاوَزْ عَنْ مُسِيئِهِمْ»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying on the pulpit addressing the Ansar (the Helpers): "Surely, people are the armor of each other, and the Ansar are my flag. If people go one way and the Ansar go another way in a valley, I would go with the Ansar. Whoever honors the Ansar, Allah will honor him. Whoever disrespects them, Allah will disrespect him. Whoever troubles them, Allah will trouble him. He then pointed to himself and said, 'If it were not for the emigration, I would have been one of the Ansar.'"  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ لِلْأَنْصَارِ «أَلَا إِنَّ النَّاسَ دِثَارِي وَإِنَّ الْأَنْصَارَ شِعَارِي وَلَوْ سَلَكَ النَّاسُ وَادِيًا وَسَلَكَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ شُعْبَةً لَاتَّبَعْتُ شُعْبَةَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَمَنْ وَلِيَ أَمْرَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَلْيُحْسِنْ إِلَى مُحْسِنِهِمْ وَلْيَتَجَاوَزْ عَنْ مُسِيئِهِمْ وَمَنْ أَفْزَعَهُمْ فَقَدْ أَفْزَعَ الَّذِي بَيْنَ هَذَيْنِ وَأَشَارَ إِلَى نَفْسِهِ لَوْلَا الْهِجْرَةُ لَكُنْتُ امْرَأً مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ»  

[Machine] He entered upon the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, while he was in the pain in which he died, and he said, "Say salaam to your people, for indeed they do not know hardship and patience." Authenticated by the chain of narration, but it was not included in Sahih collections.  

أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي وَجَعِهِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ فَقَالَ «أَقْرِئْ قَوْمَكَ السَّلَامَ فَإِنَّهُمْ مَا عَلِمْتُ أَعِفَّةٌ صُبُرٌ» صَحِيحُ الْإِسْنَادِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ صحيح  

[Machine] Usaid ibn Hudayr al-Ashhali came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was distributing food. He mentioned to him that there was a family among the Ansar from the Banu Dhafar who were in need. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Most of the household members are women." He then said to Usaid, "O Usaid, you have left us until what we had in our hands is gone. When you hear that something has been brought to us, please inform us about the people of that household." After that, some food from Khaybar came to him, which included barley and dates. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ distributed it among the people, among the Ansar, and among the family mentioned earlier. He gave generously to all three. Usaid bin Hudayr expressed his gratitude by saying, "May Allah reward you, O Prophet of Allah, the best reward or bestow goodness upon you." The Prophet ﷺ responded, "And may Allah grant you the best of rewards, O people of the Ansar. Indeed, I know that you are gentle, patient, and will continue to support and uphold the matter after me. So remain patient until you meet me at the Hawd (on the Day of Judgment)."  

جَاءَ أُسَيْدُ بْنُ حُضَيْرٍ الْأَشْهَلِيُّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقَدْ كَانَ قَسَمَ طَعَامًا فَذَكَرَ لَهُ أَهْلَ بَيْتٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ مِنْ بَنِي ظَفَرٍ فِيهِمْ حَاجَةٌ قَالَ وَجُلُّ أَهْلِ ذَلِكَ الْبَيْتِ نِسْوَةٌ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «تَرَكْتَنَا يَا أُسَيْدُ حَتَّى ذَهَبَ مَا فِي أَيْدِينَا فَإِذَا سَمِعْتَ بِشَيْءٍ قَدْ جَاءَنَا فَاذْكُرْ لِي أَهْلَ ذَلِكَ الْبَيْتِ» قَالَ فَجَاءَهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ طَعَامٌ مِنْ خَيْبَرَ شَعِيرٌ وَتَمْرٌ قَالَ فَقَسَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي النَّاسِ وَقَسَمَ فِي الْأَنْصَارِ فَأَجْزَلَ وَقَسَمَ فِي أَهْلِ ذَلِكَ الْبَيْتِ فَأَجْزَلَ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ أُسَيْدُ بْنُ حُضَيْرٍ مُتَشَكَّرٌ أَجْزَاكَ اللَّهُ أَيْ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ عَنَّا أَفْضَلَ الْجَزَاءِ أَوْ قَالَ خَيْرًا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «وَأَنْتُمْ يَا مَعْشَرَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَجَزَاكُمُ اللَّهُ أَطْيَبَ الْجَزَاءِ وَقَالَ خَيْرًا فَإِنَّكُمْ مَا عَلِمْتُ أَعِفَّةٌ صُبُرٌ وَسَتَرَوْنَ بَعْدِي أَثَرَةً فِي الْأَمْرِ وَالْقَسْمِ فَاصْبِرُوا حَتَّى تَلْقَوْنِي عَلَى الْحَوْضِ»  

[Machine] Indeed, the Ansar were facing difficult times, so they went to the Prophet ﷺ to ask him to pray for them or to dig a river for them. The Prophet ﷺ was informed about their request, and he said, "Do not ask me today for anything except that I will give it to you." When they heard what the Prophet ﷺ said, they said, "Pray to Allah for us for forgiveness." He said, "O Allah, forgive the Ansar and the children of the Ansar and the children of the children of the Ansar."  

إِنَّ الْأَنْصَارَ اشْتَدَّتْ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّوَانِي فَأَتَوُا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ لِيَدْعُوَ لَهُمْ أَو يَحْفِرَ لَهُمْ نَهْرًا فَأُخْبِرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «لَا تَسْأَلُونِي الْيَوْمَ عَنْ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا أُعْطِيتُمْ» فَلَمَّا سَمِعُوا مَا قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قَالُوا ادْعُ اللَّهَ لَنَا بِالْمَغْفِرَةِ قَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِلْأَنْصَارِ وَلِأَبْنَاءِ الْأَنْصَارِ وَلِأَبْنَاءِ أَبْنَاءِ الْأَنْصَارِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ received young boys from the young boys of the Ansar, as well as maidens and slaves. He said, "By Allah, I love you all." This is an authentic narration according to the conditions of Muslim, and it was not excluded by Adh-Dhahabi in his summary.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ اسْتَقْبَلَ غِلْمَانًا مِنْ غِلْمَانِ الْأَنْصَارِ وَإِمَاءً وَعَبِيدًا فَقَالَ «وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّكُمْ» هَذَا حَدِيثُ صَحِيحُ عَلَى شَرْطِ مُسْلِمٍ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص  

[Machine] Al-Hayyan, from the Ansar, felt proud and said, "Among us are those whose death caused the throne of the Most Merciful to shake, like Sa'd bin Mu'adh. Among us are those who were protected from harm, like Aasim bin Thabit bin Al-Afalah. Among us are those whom the angels washed, like Hanzalah bin Al-Rahib. Among us are those whose testimony was accepted by two witnesses, like Khuzaymah bin Thabit." The Khazraj tribe said, "Among us are four who compiled the Qur'an, and no one else did so. They are Ubay bin Ka'b, Mu'adh bin Jabal, Zaid bin Thabit, and Abu Zaid."  

افْتَخَرَ الْحَيَّانِ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ الْأَوْسُ وَالْخَزْرَجُ فَقَالَتِ الْأَوْسُ مِنَّا مَنِ اهْتَزَّ لِمَوْتِهِ عَرْشُ الرَّحْمَنِ سَعْدُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ وَمِنَّا مَنْ حَمَتْهُ الدِّبْرُ عَاصِمُ بْنُ ثَابِتِ بْنِ الْأَفْلَحِ وَمِنَّا مَنْ غَسَّلَتْهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ حَنْظَلَةُ بْنُ الرَّاهِبِ وَمِنَّا مَنْ أُجِيزَتٍ شَهَادَتُهُ بِشَهَادَةِ رَجُلَيْنِ خُزَيْمَةُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ وَقَالَ الْخَزْرَجِيُّونَ مِنَّا أَرْبَعَةٌ جَمَعُوا الْقُرْآنَ لَمْ يَجْمَعْهُ غَيْرُهُمْ أُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ وَمُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ وَزَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ وَأَبُو زَيْدٍ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The Muhajirun and the Ansar, some of them are allies of each other in this life and the Hereafter. And the free men of the Quraysh and the honorable ones from Thaqif, some of them are allies of each other in this life and the Hereafter."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «الْمُهَاجِرُونَ وَالْأَنْصَارُ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَاءُ بَعْضٍ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ وَالطُّلَقَاءُ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ وَالْعُرَفَاءُ مِنْ ثَقِيفٍ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَاءُ بَعْضٍ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ»
