We were in the company of the Prophet ﷺ in a Ghazwa. A large number of emigrants joined him and among the emigrants there was a person who used to play jokes (or play with spears); so he (jokingly) stroked an Ansari man on the hip. The Ans-ari got so angry that both of them called their people. The Ansari said, "Help, O Ansar!" And the emigrant said "Help, O emigrants!" The Prophet ﷺ came out and said, "What is wrong with the people (as they are calling) this call of the period of Ignorance? "Then he said, "What is the matter with them?" So he was told about the stroke of the emigrant to the Ansari. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Stop this (i.e. appeal for help) for it is an evil call. "Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul (a hypocrite) said, "The emigrants have called and (gathered against us); so when we return to Medina, surely, the more honorable people will expel therefrom the meaner," Upon that ʿUmar said, "O Allah's Prophet! Shall we not kill this evil person (i.e. ʿAbdullah bin Ubai bin Salul) ?" The Prophet) said, "(No), lest the people should say that Muhammad used to kill his companions."  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرًا ؓ يَقُولُ غَزَوْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَقَدْ ثَابَ مَعَهُ نَاسٌ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ حَتَّى كَثُرُوا وَكَانَ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ رَجُلٌ لَعَّابٌ فَكَسَعَ أَنْصَارِيًّا فَغَضِبَ الأَنْصَارِيُّ غَضَبًا شَدِيدًا حَتَّى تَدَاعَوْا وَقَالَ الأَنْصَارِيُّ يَا لَلأَنْصَارِ وَقَالَ الْمُهَاجِرِيُّ يَا لَلْمُهَاجِرِينَ فَخَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَا بَالُ دَعْوَى أَهْلِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا شَأْنُهُمْ فَأُخْبِرَ بِكَسْعَةِ الْمُهَاجِرِيِّ الأَنْصَارِيَّ قَالَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ دَعُوهَا فَإِنَّهَا خَبِيثَةٌ وَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أُبَىٍّ ابْنُ سَلُولَ أَقَدْ تَدَاعَوْا عَلَيْنَا لَئِنْ رَجَعْنَا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ لَيُخْرِجَنَّ الأَعَزُّ مِنْهَا الأَذَلَّ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ أَلاَ نَقْتُلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا الْخَبِيثَ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لاَ يَتَحَدَّثُ النَّاسُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقْتُلُ أَصْحَابَهُ  

We were in a Ghazwa (Sufyan once said, in an army) and a man from the emigrants kicked an Ansari man (on the buttocks with his foot). The Ansari man said, "O the Ansar! (Help!)" and the emigrant said. "O the emigrants! (Help!) Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard that and said, "What is this call for, which is characteristic of the period of ignorance?" They said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! A man from the emigrants kicked one of the Ansar (on the buttocks with his foot)." Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Leave it (that call) as is a detestable thing." ʿAbdullah bin Ubai heard that and said, 'Have the (the emigrants) done so? By Allah, if we return Medina, surely, the more honorable will expel therefrom the meaner." When this statement reached the Prophet. ʿUmar got up an, said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Let me chop off the head of this hypocrite (ʿAbdullah bin Ubai)!" The Prophet ﷺ said "Leave him, lest the people say that Muhammad kills his companions." The Ansar were then more in number than the emigrants when the latter came to Medina, but later on the emigrant increased.

We were in a Ghazwa and a man from the emigrants kicked an Ansari (on the buttocks with his foot). The Ansari man said, "O the Ansari! (Help!)" The emigrant said, "O the emigrants! (Help)." When Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard that, he said, "What is that?" They said, "A man from the emigrants kicked a man from the Ansar (on the buttocks his foot). On that the Ansar said, 'O the Ansar!' and the emigrant said, 'O the emigrants!" The Prophet ﷺ said' "Leave it (that call) for it Is a detestable thing." The number of Ansar was larger (than that of the emigrants) at the time when the Prophet ﷺ came to Medina, but later the number of emigrants increased. ʿAbdullah bin Ubai said, "Have they, (the emigrants) done so? By Allah, if we return to Medina, surely, the more honorable will expel therefrom the meaner," ʿUmar bin Al-Khattab said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Let me chop off the head of this hypocrite!" The Prophet said, "Leave him, lest the people say Muhammad kills his companions:"

We were along with Messenger of Allah ﷺ in an expedition that a person from amongst the emigrants struck at the back of a person from the Ansir. The Ansiri said: O Ansar! And the Muhijir said: O Emigrants! Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: What are these proclamations of the Days of Ignorance? They said: Messenger of Allah, a person from the emigrants struck at the back of an Ansari, whereupon he said: It is something disgusting. 'Abdullah b. Ubayy heard it and said: They have indeed done it. By Allah, when we would return to Medina the respectable amongst them (the Ansar) would turn away the mean (the emigrants). Thereupon 'Umar said: Permit me so that I should strike the neck of this hypocrite. But he (the Holy Prophet) said: Leave him, the people may not say that Muhammad kills his companions.

[Machine] And Sufyan said another time, "We were in an army when a man from the Muhajirin struck a man from the Ansar. The Ansari said, 'Oh Ansar!' and the Muhajiri said, 'Oh Muhajireen!' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard this and said, 'What is this pre-Islamic cry?' They said, 'A man from the Muhajirin struck a man from the Ansar.' He said, 'Leave it, for it is a call of ignorance.' Abdullah ibn Ubayy heard this in the presence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, 'They have done it! By Allah, if we return to Al-Madinah, the more honorable will expel the disgraced.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard of this and Umar stood and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, let me strike the neck of this hypocrite.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Leave him, for people will say that Muhammad is killing his companions.' The Ansar were more in number than the Muhajirin when they arrived in Al-Madinah, but then the Muhajirin increased in number."  

وَقَالَ سُفْيَانُ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى كُنَّا فِي جَيْشٍ فَكَسَعَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ يَا لَلْأَنْصَارِ وَقَالَ الْمُهَاجِرِيُّ يَا لَلْمُهَاجِرِينَ فَسَمِعَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَا بَالُ دَعْوَى جَاهِلِيَّةٍ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَسَعَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ دَعُوهَا فَإِنَّهَا مُنْتِنَةٌ فَسَمِعَ بِذَلِكَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أُبَيٍّ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ قَدْ فَعَلُوهَا أَمَا وَاللهِ لَئِنْ رَجَعْنَا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ لَيُخْرِجَنَّ الْأَعَزُّ مِنْهَا الْأَذَلَّ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَامَ عُمَرُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ دَعْنِي أَضْرِبْ عُنُقَ هَذَا الْمُنَافِقِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ دَعْهُ؛ لَا يَتَحَدَّثُ النَّاسُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا يَقْتُلُ أَصْحَابَهُ قَالَ وَكَانَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ حِينَ قَدِمُوا الْمَدِينَةَ ثُمَّ إِنَّ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ كَثُرُوا بَعْدُ  

" كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ الله ﷺ فِى غَزَاة فَكَسَعَ (*) رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ رَجُلًا مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ، فَقَالَ الأَنْصَارِىُّ: يَا للأَنْصَارِ، وَقَالَ الْمُهَاجِرِىُّ: يَا لَلْمُهَاجِرِينَ، فَسَمِعَ ذَلكَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ فَقَالَ: مَا بَالُ دَعْوَى الْجَاهلِيَّة؟ فَأخْبَرُوهُ بِالَّذِى كَانَ، فَقَالَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ : دَعُوهَا فَإنَّهَا مُنْتِنَةٌ، وَكَانَ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ لَمَّا قَدِمَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ الْمَديِنَةَ أقَلَّ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ، ثُمَّ إِنَّ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ كَثُرُوا بَعْدُ! فَسَمِعَ ذَلِكَ عَبْد الله بْنُ أُبَىٍّ، فَقَالَ: أَقَدْ فَعَلُوهَا؟ وَالله لَئنْ رَجَعْنَا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ لَيُخْرِجَنَّ الأعَزُّ منْهَا الأَذَلَّ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: يَارَسُولَ الله! دَعْنِى فَأَضْرِبَ عُنُقَ هَذَا الْمُنَافِقِ، فَقَالَ: دَعْهُ لاَ يَتَحَدَّثُ النَّاسُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا يَقْتُلُ أَصْحَابَهُ ".
