Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever loves the Ansar loves them because of his love for me, and whoever hates the Ansar hates them because of his hatred for me."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih except Ahmad bin Hatim, who is thiqah (trustworthy).
