When it was the day (of the battle) of Hunain, the tributes of Hawazin and Ghatafan and others, along with their animals and offspring (and wives) came to fight against the Prophet ﷺ The Prophet ﷺ had with him, ten thousand men and some of the Tulaqa. The companions fled, leaving the Prophet ﷺ alone. The Prophet then made two calls which were clearly distinguished from each other. He turned right and said, "O the group of Ansar!" They said, "Labbaik, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Rejoice, for we are with you!" Then he turned left and said, "O the group of Ansar!" They said, "Labbaik! O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Rejoice, for we are with you!" The Prophet ﷺ at that time, was riding on a white mule; then he dismounted and said, "I am Allah's Slave and His Apostle." The infidels then were defeated, and on that day the Prophet ﷺ gained a large amount of booty which he distributed amongst the Muhajirin and the Tulaqa and did not give anything to the Ansar. The Ansar said, "When there is a difficulty, we are called, but the booty is given to other than us." The news reached the Prophet ﷺ and he gathered them in a leather tent and said, "What is this news reaching me from you, O the group of Ansar?" They kept silent, He added," O the group of Ansar! Won't you be happy that the people take the worldly things and you take Messenger of Allah ﷺ to your homes reserving him for yourself?" They said, "Yes." Then the Prophet said, "If the people took their way through a valley, and the Ansar took their way through a mountain pass, surely, I would take the Ansar's mountain pass." Hisham said, "O Abu Hamza (i.e. Anas)! Did you witness that? " He replied, "And how could I be absent from him?"

O people of Ansar! They said: At thy beck and call (are we), Messenger of Allah. Be glad we are with thee. He then turned towards his left and said: O people of Ansar. They said: At thy beck and call (are we). Be glad we are with thee. He (the Holy Prophet) was riding a white mule. He dismounted and said: I am the servant of Allah and His Apostle. The polytheists suffered defeat and the Messenger of Allah (may peace he upon him) acquired a large quantity of spoils, and he distributed them among the refugees and the people recently delivered (of Mecca) but did not give anything to the Ansar. The Ansar said: In the hour of distress it is we who are called (for help). but the spoils are given to other people besides us. This (remark) reached him (the Holy Prophet). and he gathered them In a tent. and said: What is this news that has reached me on your behalf? They kept silence. Upon this he said: O people of Ansar, don't you like that people should go away with worldly (riches), and you go away with Muhammad taking him to your houses? They said: Yes, happy we are. Messenger of Allah. He (the Holy Prophet) said: If the people were to tread a valley, and the Ansar were to tread a narrow path, I would take the narrow path of the Ansar. Hisham said: I asked Abu Hamza if he was present there. He said: How could I be absent from him?

[Machine] When it was the Day of Hunayn, the tribes of Hawazin and Ghatafan gathered in great numbers against the Prophet ﷺ . At that time, the Prophet ﷺ had ten thousand or more than ten thousand with him. It is said that the Talhaka tribe also accompanied him. They brought with them their livestock and offspring, which they placed behind them. When they met, the people turned away, while the Prophet ﷺ rode on a white horse. He dismounted and said, "I am the servant of Allah and His Messenger." Then he called out with two distinct calls, and then turned to his right and said, "Oh Ansar, what do you have to say?" They replied, "Labbaik, O Messenger of Allah, we are with you." He then turned to his left and said, "Oh Ansar, what do you say?" They replied, "Labbaik, O Messenger of Allah, we are with you." Then he descended to the ground and they met the enemy, defeating them and gaining spoils. The Prophet ﷺ gave the Talhaka tribe their share and divided the spoils among them. The Ansar said, "We are called upon during hardship but the spoils are distributed to others." The Prophet ﷺ was informed of their complaint and gathered them in a tent. He asked them, "What is the news that reached me about you, O Ansar?" They remained quiet, and he said, "Oh Ansar, if the people choose a valley and you choose a mountain, I will choose your mountain (meaning he would be with the Ansar)." He then asked them, "Would you be satisfied if the people take worldly possessions while you take the Messenger of Allah and protect him in your homes?" They replied, "We are satisfied, O Messenger of Allah, we are satisfied." Ibn Awun said that Hisham bin Zaid said, "I said to Anas while witnessing that, 'Where can I find such dedication?'"

[Machine] On the day of Hunayn, when Hawazin and Ghatafan arrived with their offspring and possessions, along with the Prophet ﷺ were ten thousand people and the free men. They turned away from him until he remained alone. He called out twice on that day with two different calls that were not mixed together. He turned to his right and said, "O people of the Ansar!" They replied, "Here we are, O Messenger of Allah! We are with you!" He then turned to his left and said, "O people of the Ansar!" They replied, "Here we are, O Messenger of Allah! We are with you!" He was riding a white she-mule and then dismounted and said, "I am Abdullah, the slave of Allah and His Messenger." The polytheists were then defeated, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ obtained many spoils of war. He distributed them among the emigrants and the free men, but did not give anything to the Ansar. The Ansar said, "When there is a difficulty, we are with you, but when there is plunder, you give it to others and not us." When the Prophet learned of this, he gathered them in one place and said, "O people of the Ansar, what rumor has reached me?" They remained silent. He then said, "O people of the Ansar, would you not be satisfied if people went with the sheep and you went with Muhammad ﷺ to your homes?" They replied, "O Messenger of Allah, we are satisfied." He said, "If the people took one path and the Ansar took another, I would take the path of the Ansar."
