"The Messenger of Allah said: 'Whoever loves the Ansar, Allah will love him, and whoever hates the Ansar, Allah will hate him.' " (One of the narrators) Shu'bah said: "I said to 'Adi: 'Did you hear that from Bara' bin 'Azib?' He said: 'It was to me that he narrated it.'"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ أَحَبَّ الأَنْصَارَ أَحَبَّهُ اللَّهُ وَمَنْ أَبْغَضَ الأَنْصَارَ أَبْغَضَهُ اللَّهُ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ قُلْتُ لِعَدِيٍّ أَسَمِعْتَهُ مِنَ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ قَالَ إِيَّاىَ حَدَّثَ  

The Messenger of Allah said: "The Ansar are an inner garment and the people are an outer garment. If the people were to head towards one valley or a narrow mountain pass and the Ansar towards another, I would travel to the valley of the Ansar, and were it not for the Hijrah, I would have been a man from among the Ansar."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ الأَنْصَارُ شِعَارٌ وَالنَّاسُ دِثَارٌ وَلَوْ أَنَّ النَّاسَ اسْتَقْبَلُوا وَادِيًا أَوْ شِعْبًا وَاسْتَقْبَلَتِ الأَنْصَارُ وَادِيًا لَسَلَكْتُ وَادِيَ الأَنْصَارِ وَلَوْلاَ الْهِجْرَةُ لَكُنْتُ امْرَأً مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ  

That his grandfather said: "The Messenger of Allah said: 'May Allah have mercy on the Ansar, and the children of the Ansar, and the grandchildren of the Ansar.'"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَحِمَ اللَّهُ الأَنْصَارَ وَأَبْنَاءَ الأَنْصَارِ وَأَبْنَاءَ أَبْنَاءِ الأَنْصَارِ
