حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ نَاسٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ حِينَ أَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مَا أَفَاءَ مِنْ أَمْوَالِ هَوَازِنَ، فَطَفِقَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُعْطِي رِجَالاً الْمِائَةَ مِنَ الإِبِلِ فَقَالُوا يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُعْطِي قُرَيْشًا وَيَتْرُكُنَا، وَسُيُوفُنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ. قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَحُدِّثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِمَقَالَتِهِمْ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى الأَنْصَارِ فَجَمَعَهُمْ فِي قُبَّةٍ مِنْ أَدَمٍ وَلَمْ يَدْعُ مَعَهُمْ غَيْرَهُمْ، فَلَمَّا اجْتَمَعُوا قَامَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ " مَا حَدِيثٌ بَلَغَنِي عَنْكُمْ ". فَقَالَ فُقَهَاءُ الأَنْصَارِ أَمَّا رُؤَسَاؤُنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَلَمْ يَقُولُوا شَيْئًا، وَأَمَّا نَاسٌ مِنَّا حَدِيثَةٌ أَسْنَانُهُمْ فَقَالُوا يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُعْطِي قُرَيْشًا وَيَتْرُكُنَا، وَسُيُوفُنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ. فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " فَإِنِّي أُعْطِي رِجَالاً حَدِيثِي عَهْدٍ بِكُفْرٍ، أَتَأَلَّفُهُمْ، أَمَا تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ النَّاسُ بِالأَمْوَالِ وَتَذْهَبُونَ بِالنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِلَى رِحَالِكُمْ، فَوَاللَّهِ لَمَا تَنْقَلِبُونَ بِهِ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا يَنْقَلِبُونَ بِهِ ". قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ رَضِينَا. فَقَالَ لَهُمُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " سَتَجِدُونَ أُثْرَةً شَدِيدَةً، فَاصْبِرُوا حَتَّى تَلْقَوُا اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَإِنِّي عَلَى الْحَوْضِ " . قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَلَمْ يَصْبِرُوا.

Abdullah ibn Muhammad related to me: Hisham related to us: Ma‘mar informed us, from al-Zuhri, who said: Anas ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) informed me that some Ansar spoke when Allah granted His Messenger the property of Hawazin. The Prophet (ﷺ) began giving some men one hundred camels each. They said, “May Allah forgive the Messenger of Allah; he gives to Quraysh and leaves us, while our swords are still dripping with their blood.” Anas said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was told what they had said, and he sent for the Ansar and gathered them in a leather tent, inviting no one else. When they had gathered, the Prophet (ﷺ) stood and said, “What is this report that has reached me about you?” The learned men among the Ansar said, “Messenger of Allah, our leaders said nothing. Rather, some younger people among us said, ‘May Allah forgive the Messenger of Allah; he gives to Quraysh and leaves us, while our swords still drip with their blood.’” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “I am giving to men who are newly removed from disbelief, to win their hearts. Are you not content that the people leave with wealth while you return to your homes with the Prophet (ﷺ)? By Allah, what you return with is better than what they return with.” They said, “Messenger of Allah, we are content.” He said to them, “You will encounter severe favoritism; be patient until you meet Allah and His Messenger, for I will be at the Pond.” Anas added: They did not remain patient.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The report distinguishes the leaders from younger members who voiced the complaint; the allocation is stated as one hundred camels to each of some men.
