It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever loves me will love the Ansar, and whoever hates me will hate the Ansar. No hypocrite will love them and no believer will hate them. Whoever loves them, Allah Almighty will love him, and whoever hates them, Allah Almighty will hate him. The people are the outer garment and the Ansar are the inner garment. If the people were to travel through one valley and the Ansar through another, I would travel through the valley of the Ansar." (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: From this Companion there is a hadith in the "Sahih" other than this narration.
Imam al-Bazzar recorded this narration with two chains, both of which contain Atiyyah, whose hadith is written down despite his weakness; the remaining narrators of this narration are the narrators of the Sahih.
