اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ الأَنْصَارَ قَالَتْ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: اقْسِمْ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ إِخْوَانِنَا النَّخِيلَ، قَالَ: ”لَا“، فَقَالُوا: تَكْفُونَا الْمَؤُونَةَ، وَنُشْرِكُكُمْ فِي الثَّمَرَةِ؟ قَالُوا: سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Ansar said to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Please divide our date orchards between us and our Muhajir brothers." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No." Then the Ansar said to the Muhajirin: "You help us with the work, and we will share the fruit with you." They said: "We accept this."
Explanation & Benefits

Benefits and Issues:
In difficult circumstances, a Muslim should show sympathy to another Muslim and assist him so that he does not become despondent due to hardship. Similarly, a Muslim who is caught in difficulty should also strive and make effort himself and not become a burden on others. The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) praised that tribe of the Ansar who, when food was scarce, would gather their food together and eat collectively.
