Chapter: If One Cannot Recompense, He Should Pray for Him
Hadith 217
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، ذَهَبَ الأَنْصَارُ بِالأَجْرِ كُلِّهِ؟ قَالَ: ”لَا، مَا دَعَوْتُمُ اللَّهَ لَهُمْ، وَأَثْنَيْتُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ بِهِ.“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Muhajirun said: O Messenger of Allah! The Ansar have taken all the reward. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "That is not so, as long as you pray for them and mention them with words of praise."
