Musa ibn Isma‘il related to us: Wuhayb related to us: Amr ibn Yahya related to us, from Abbad ibn Tamim, from Abdullah ibn Zayd ibn Asim, who said: When Allah granted His Messenger the spoils at Hunayn, he distributed them among those whose hearts were being reconciled, and gave the Ansar nothing. They seemed hurt that they had not received what the others had received. He addressed them, saying, “O assembly of the Ansar, did I not find you astray, and Allah guide you through me? You were divided, and Allah united you through me; you were poor, and Allah enriched you through me?” Whenever he said something, they replied, “Allah and His Messenger are most generous.” He said, “Why do you not answer the Messenger of Allah?” Each time he said something, they replied, “Allah and His Messenger are most generous.” He said, “If you wished, you could say: ‘You came to us in such-and-such a state.’ Would you be content for the people to leave with sheep and camels while you return to your homes with the Messenger of Allah? Were it not for the emigration, I would be one of the Ansar. If people took a valley or mountain pass, I would take the valley and mountain pass of the Ansar. The Ansar are the inner garment, while the people are the outer garment. You will encounter favoritism after me, so be patient until you meet me at the Pond.”
