ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ قَوْلَ أَنَسٍ: أَرَادَ أَنْ يَكْتُبَ أَنْ يَقْطَعَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ لِلْأَنْصَارِ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ once visited the Anṣār tribe of Bahrain or a group among them. They said, "Do not cut off our brothers among the Muhājirīn (those who migrated from Mecca to Medina) like you cut off us." He said, "Indeed, you will meet me after my departure, so be patient until you meet me."  

ابن حبّان:٧٢٧٦أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ حِسَابٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَقْطَعَ الْأَنْصَارَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ أَوْ قَالَ طَائِفَةً مِنْهَا فَقَالُوا لَا حَتَّى تُقْطِعَ إِخْوَانَنَا مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ مِثْلَ الَّذِي أَقْطَعْتَنَا قَالَ «أَمَا إِنَّكُمْ سَتَلْقَوْنَ بَعْدِي أَثَرَةً فَاصْبِرُوا حَتَّى تَلْقَوْنِي»

bukhari:2376Sulaymān b. Ḥarb > Ḥammād > Yaḥyá b. Saʿīd > Anas

The Prophet ﷺ decided to grant a portion of (the uncultivated land of) Bahrain to the Ansar. The Ansar said, "(We will not accept it) till you give a similar portion to our emigrant brothers (from Quraish)." He said, "(O Ansar!) You will soon see people giving preference to others, so remain patient till you meet me (on the Day of Resurrection).  

البخاري:٢٣٧٦حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا ؓ قَالَ

أَرَادَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَنْ يُقْطِعَ مِنَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ فَقَالَتِ الأَنْصَارُ حَتَّى تُقْطِعَ لإِخْوَانِنَا مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ مِثْلَ الَّذِي تُقْطِعُ لَنَا قَالَ سَتَرَوْنَ بَعْدِي أَثَرَةً فَاصْبِرُوا حَتَّى تَلْقَوْنِي  

bukhari:3794ʿAbdullāh b. Muḥammad > Sufyān > Yaḥyá b. Saʿīd > Anas

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."'  

البخاري:٣٧٩٤حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ سَمِعَ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ ؓ حِينَ خَرَجَ مَعَهُ إِلَى الْوَلِيدِ قَالَ

دَعَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الأَنْصَارَ إِلَى أَنْ يُقْطِعَ لَهُمُ الْبَحْرَيْنِ فَقَالُوا لاَ إِلاَّ أَنْ تُقْطِعَ لإِخْوَانِنَا مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ مِثْلَهَا قَالَ إِمَّا لاَ فَاصْبِرُوا حَتَّى تَلْقَوْنِي فَإِنَّهُ سَيُصِيبُكُمْ بَعْدِي أُثْرَةٌ  

ahmad:12885Yaḥyá > Yaḥyá b. Saʿīd > Anas b. Mālik

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ wanted to write a book for the people from the Ansar to the people of Bahrain. They said that he should also write a similar book for our brothers from the Muhajirin (migrants). So he called them and they refused. He said, "Verily, you will see after me calamities, so be patient until you meet me."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَكْتُبَ كِتَابًا لِنَاسٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ إِلَى الْبَحْرَيْنِ فَقَالُوا لَا إِلَّا أَنْ تَكْتُبَ لِإِخْوَانِنَا مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ مِثْلَهَا فَدَعَاهُمْ فَأَبَوْا قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّكُمْ سَتَرَوْنَ بَعْدِي أَثَرَةً فَاصْبِرُوا حَتَّى تَلْقَوْنِي

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ invited us to write to him from Bahrain. We said, "Only if you write the same for our brothers from the Muhajireen." He said, "Indeed, you will meet hardships after me, so be patient until you meet me." They said, "Indeed, we will be patient."

دَعَانَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِيَكْتُبَ لَنَا بِالْبَحْرَيْنِ قَطِيعَةً قَالَ فَقُلْنَا لَا إِلَّا أَنْ تَكْتُبَ لِإِخْوَانِنَا مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ مِثْلَهَا فَقَالَ إِنَّكُمْ سَتَلْقَوْنَ بَعْدِي أَثَرَةً فَاصْبِرُوا حَتَّى تَلْقَوْنِي قَالُوا فَإِنَّا نَصْبِرُ  

ahmad:12085Sufyān > Yaḥyá Qīl Lisufyān / > from Anas

[Machine] He heard from Anas that the Prophet ﷺ called the Ansar to split the two seas for them, but they said no until the same is done for our brothers from the Muhajireen like us. So he said, "Indeed, you will meet me afterwards, so be patient until you meet me."  

أحمد:١٢٠٨٥حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ يَحْيَى قِيلَ لِسُفْيَانَ يَعْنِي

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ wanted to write to the Ansar in Bahrain, but they said, "No, not until you write for our companions from Quraysh the same." He said, "You will meet me at the Hawd, so be patient until you meet me there."
