ذِكْرُ قَبُولِ الْأَنْصَارِ هَذِهِ الْوَصِيَّةَ عَنِ الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ
May Allah grant pardon to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he bestowed (these camels) upon the people of Quraish, and he ignored us, whereas our swords are still dripping blood. Anas b. Malik said: Their statement was conveyed to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he sent (someone) to the Ansar and gathered them under a tent of leather. When they had assembled, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to them and said: What is this news that has reached me from you? The wise people of the Ansar said: Messenger of Allah, so far as the sagacious amongst us are concerned they have said nothing, but we have amongst us persons of immature age; they said: May Allah grant pardon to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he gave to the Quraish and ignored us (despite the fact) that our swords are besmeared with their blood. Upon this the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: I give (at times material gifts) to persons who were quite recently in the state of unbelief, so that I may incline them to truth Don't you feel delighted that people should go with riches, and you should go back to your places with the Messenger of Allah? By Allah, that with which you would return is better than that with which they would return. They said: Yes, Messenger of Allah, we are pleased. The Prophet said too: You would find marked preference (in conferring of the material gifts) in future, so you should show patience till you meet Allah and His Messenger and I would he at the Haud Kauthar. They said: We would show patience. (Using translation from Muslim 1059a)
أَنَّ نَاسًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ قَالُوا يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ حِينَ أَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ مِنْ أَمْوَالِ هَوَازِنَ مَا أَفَاءَ فَطَفِقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُعْطِي رِجَالًا مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ الْمِئَةَ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ فَقَالُوا يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لِرَسُولِهِ يُعْطِي قُرَيْشًا وَيَتْرُكُنَا وَسُيُوفُنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَحَدَّثْتُ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ قَوْلِهِمْ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى الْأَنْصَارِ فَجَمَعَهُمْ فِي قُبَّةٍ مِنْ أَدَمٍ فَلَمَّا اجْتَمَعُوا جَاءَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «مَا حَدِيثٌ بَلَغَنِي عَنْكُمْ؟ » فَقَالَ لَهُ قَوْمٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَمَّا ذَوُو أَسْنَانِنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَلَمْ يَقُولُوا شَيْئًا وَأَمَّا نَاسٌ مِنَّا حَدِيثَةٌ أَسْنَانُهُمْ فَقَالُوا يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لِرَسُولِهِ يُعْطِي أُنَاسًا وَسُيُوفُنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنِّي أُعْطِي رِجَالًا حَدِيثِي عَهْدٍ بِالْكُفْرِ أَتَأَلَّفُهُمْ أَفَلَا تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ النَّاسُ بِالْأَمْوَالِ وَتَرْجِعُونَ إِلَى رِحَالِكُمْ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ؟ فَوَاللَّهِ لَمَا تَنْقَلِبُونَ بِهِ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا يَنْقَلِبُونَ» فَقَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ رَضِينَا قَالَ «فَإِنَّكُمْ سَتَجِدُونَ أَثَرَةً شَدِيدَةً فَاصْبِرُوا حَتَّى تَلَقَوَا اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ عَلَى الْحَوْضِ» قَالُوا سَنَصْبِرُ
