Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 16496

وَعَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ لِلْأَنْصَارِ : " أَلَا إِنَّ النَّاسَ دِثَارِي وَالْأَنْصَارَ شِعَارِي ، لَوْ سَلَكَ النَّاسُ وَادِيًا وَسَلَكَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ شُعْبَةً ، لَاتَّبَعَتْ شُعْبَةَ الْأَنْصَارِ ، وَلَوْلَا الْهِجْرَةُ لَكَنْتُ امْرَأً مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ ، فَمَنْ وَلِيَ أَمْرَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَلْيُحْسِنْ إِلَى مُحْسِنِهِمْ ، وَلْيَتَجَاوَزْ عَنْ مُسِيئِهِمْ ، وَمَنْ أَفْزَعَهُمْ فَقَدْ أَفْزَعَ هَذَا الَّذِي بَيْنَ هَذَيْنِ " . وَأَشَارَ إِلَى نَفْسِهِ . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَرِجَالُهُ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ غَيْرَ يَحْيَى بْنِ النَّضْرِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ ، وَهُوَ ثِقَةٌ .
Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say on the pulpit to the Ansar: "Beware! The other people are the outer cloak worn on top and the Ansar are the garment that touches the body. If the people travel through a valley and the Ansar through a mountain pass, I will travel through the mountain pass of the Ansar; and were it not for the Hijrah, I would have been one of the Ansar. Whoever is put in charge of the affairs of the Ansar should do good to the good among them and overlook the wrongdoer among them. Whoever frightens them will be frightening that which is between these two." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said this while pointing to himself.
Imam Ahmad recorded this narration, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih, except for Yahya bin al-Nadr al-Ansari, and he is thiqah (trustworthy).
