We took part in the holy battle of Tabuk in the company of the Prophet ﷺ and when we arrived at the Wadi-al-Qura, there was a woman in her garden. The Prophet ﷺ asked his companions to estimate the amount of the fruits in the garden, and Messenger of Allah ﷺ estimated it at ten Awsuq (One Wasaq = 60 Sa's) and 1 Sa'= 3 kg. approximately). The Prophet ﷺ said to that lady, "Check what your garden will yield." When we reached Tabuk, the Prophet ﷺ said, "There will be a strong wind tonight and so no one should stand and whoever has a camel, should fasten it." So we fastened our camels. A strong wind blew at night and a man stood up and he was blown away to a mountain called Taiy, The King of Aila sent a white mule and a sheet for wearing to the Prophet ﷺ as a present, and wrote to the Prophet ﷺ that his people would stay in their place (and will pay Jizya taxation.) (1) When the Prophet ﷺ reached Wadi-al- Qura he asked that woman how much her garden had yielded. She said, "Ten Awsuq," and that was what Messenger of Allah ﷺ had estimated. Then the Prophet ﷺ said, "I want to reach Medina quickly, and whoever among you wants to accompany me, should hurry up." The sub-narrator Ibn Bakkar said something which meant: When the Prophet ﷺ saw Medina he said, "This is Taba." And when he saw the mountain of Uhud, he said, "This mountain loves us and we love it. Shall I tell you of the best amongst the Ansar?" They replied in the affirmative. He said, "The family of Bani-n-Najjar, and then the family of Bani Saʿida or Bani Al-Harith bin Al-Khazraj. (The above-mentioned are the best) but there is goodness in all the families of Ansar."

[Machine] We went with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the year of Tabuk until we reached Wadi al-Qura. There, we saw a woman in her garden. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to his companions, "Pluck some fruits for her." So the people plucked from her garden, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ plucked ten bunches of dates. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to the woman, "Count what comes out of you until I come back to you, if Allah wills." So he left until he reached Tabuk. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Tonight a strong wind will blow upon you, so no man among you should stand in it. If any of you has a camel, let him tie its reins." Abu Humayd said, "We tied them." When it was night, a strong wind blew upon us and a man stood in it, so it threw him into the narrow valleys. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came with the Malik of Aylla and presented to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ a white female mule. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ clothed it with a sheet and awarded it to him. Then he set out and we went with him until we reached Wadi al-Qura. He asked the woman, "How many gardens do you have?" She replied, "Ten bunches." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ plucked from her garden. He said, "I am in a hurry, so whoever among you wants to hurry, let him do so." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ left and we followed him until we approached Madinah. He said, "This is Tabah." When he saw Uhud, he said, "This is Uhud. It loves us and we love it. Shall I not inform you of the best houses among the Ansar?" We said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "The best houses among the Ansar are Banu al-Najjar, then the house of Banu Abd al-Ashhal, then the house of Banu Sa'idah, and then every house of the Ansar is good."

[Machine] "We went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to Tabuk until we reached the Valley of Qura. There was a woman in a garden, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Pluck some.' The people plucked ten bunches of grapes and he said to the woman, 'Count what comes out of it until I return to you.' So he continued until he reached Tabuk and said, 'Tonight a very strong wind will come to you, so no one should stand in it. And whoever has a camel, let him tie its reins.' A very strong wind blew, and no one stood in it except for one man whom it threw into the mount of Tayy. The king of Ayilah came to him and gave him a white mule and dressed him in the Messenger of Allah's cloak. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned and came to the Valley of Qura, he said to the woman, 'How much has your garden produced?' She said, 'Ten bunches.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ plucked them, then he said, 'Indeed, I am in a hurry, so whoever among you wants to hurry with me, let him do so.'

[Machine] We went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to the year of Tabuk, until we reached Wadi Al-Qura. Then, we saw a woman in her garden. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to his companions, "Back away." So, the people backed away, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ backed away about ten paces. Then, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to the woman, "Count what comes out of it until I return to you, if Allah wills." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ proceeded until he reached Tabuk. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A strong wind will blow upon you tonight. No man should stand in it. Whoever has a camel, let him tie its harness." Abu Humayd said, "We secured it, and when it was nighttime, a wind blew upon us. A man stood in it, and it threw him into a rocky mountain. Then, the Angel of Aylah came to him and presented a white she-mule to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . The Messenger of Allah ﷺ clothed it with a saddle blanket and wrote for him. Then, he moved forward, and we moved with him until we reached Wadi Al-Qura. He said to the woman, "How many gardens do you have?" She said, "Ten gardens." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ counted them, and then he said, "I am in a hurry. Whoever among you wants to hurry with me, let him do so." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out, and we went out with him until he entered Madinah. He said, "This is Tabah." When he saw Uhud, he said, "This is Uhud, it loves us, and we love it.

[Machine] We went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the expedition to Tabuk, and he mentioned the hadith during his departure and return. He said, "Until we reached the outskirts of Madinah, and he said, 'This is Tabah and this is 'Uhad,' and it is a mountain that loves us and we love it. Then he said, 'Indeed, the best neighborhoods of the Ansar are the neighborhoods of Banu Najjar, then the neighborhoods of Banu 'Abdul Ashhal, then the neighborhoods of Banu Al-Harith bin Khazraj, and then the neighborhoods of Banu Sa'idah. And in every neighborhood of the Ansar, there is good. Then Sa'd bin 'Ubada caught up with us, and Abu Usaid said, 'Didn't you see that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ chose the neighborhoods of the Ansar and made us the last? So Sa'd caught up with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and he said, 'O Messenger of Allah, you chose the neighborhoods of the Ansar and made us the last.' So he said, 'Is it not sufficient for you that you are among the chosen ones?
