يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، سَمِعَ
أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ حِينَ خَرَجَ مَعَهُ إِلَى الْوَلِيدِ ، قَالَ : دَعَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْأَنْصَارَ إِلَى أَنْ يُقْطِعَ لَهُمُ الْبَحْرَيْنِ ، فَقَالُوا : لَا إِلَّا أَنْ تُقْطِعَ لِإِخْوَانِنَا مِنْ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ مِثْلَهَا ، قَالَ : " إِمَّا لَا فَاصْبِرُوا حَتَّى تَلْقَوْنِي فَإِنَّهُ سَيُصِيبُكُمْ بَعْدِي أَثَرَةٌ " .
Narrated Yahya bin Sa`id: That he heard Anas bin Malik when he went with him to Al-Walid, saying, "Once the Prophet called the Ansar in order to give them the territory of Bahrain they said, 'No, unless you give to our emigrant brethren a similar share.' On that he said 'If you do not agree to it, then be patient till you meet me, for after me others will be given preference to you."'

Hadith Commentary:
That is, other undeserving people will be appointed to positions, and you will be deprived, and this is exactly what happened during the era of Banu Umayyah. The prophecy of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was fulfilled word for word. However, the Ansar truly exercised patience and fully acted upon the Prophet’s (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) advice.
Radi Allahu anhum wa radu anhu—this refers to the time when Abdul Malik ibn Marwan persecuted Anas (radi Allahu anhu), and he traveled from Basra to Damascus to present his complaints to Walid ibn Abdul Malik. In the end, Walid ibn Abdul Malik (the ruler of the time) restored his right to him.

Hadith Commentary:
➊
Regarding the Ansar, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said:
“After me, you will soon face preferential treatment. Others who are not deserving will be appointed to positions of authority, and you will be deprived.”
Indeed, this is exactly what happened during the era of Banu Umayyah; the prophecy of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was fulfilled word for word. However, the Ansar truly exercised patience and fully acted upon the prophetic counsel.
➋
The incident of the departure of Anas (radi Allahu anhu) mentioned in the hadith occurred when the governor of Basrah, Hajjaj, harassed him, so he went to Damascus and complained to Walid ibn Abd al-Malik.
Eventually, the governor of Damascus granted him his due right.
