Hadith 10663

عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ قَالَتِ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا رَأَيْنَا مِثْلَ قَوْمٍ قَدِمْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ أَحْسَنَ بَذْلًا مِنْ كَثِيرٍ وَلَا أَحْسَنَ مُوَاسَاةً فِي قَلِيلٍ قَدْ كَفَوْنَا الْمَؤُونَةَ وَأَشْرَكُونَا فِي الْمَهْنَأِ فَقَدْ خَشِينَا أَنْ يَذْهَبُوا بِالْأَجْرِ كُلِّهِ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَلَّا مَا أَثْنَيْتُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ بِهِ وَدَعَوْتُمُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَهُمْ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Muhajirun said: Among the Ansar people we have come to, we have not found anyone more generous in spending or more compassionate despite having little than them. They fulfilled all our needs and included us in all their joys. We fear that they will take all the reward. But the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No, it is not so, as long as you praise them for their good conduct and pray to Allah for them, (Allah will also grant you its reward).
