(عِزَّةُ الأَنْصَارِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى بِسَبَبِ تَضْحِيَةِ أَنْفُسِهِمْ)
(The honor of the Ansar with Allah Almighty due to their sacrifice of their lives)
Hadith 6264
وَعَنْ قَتَادَةَ قَالَ مَا نَعْلَمُ حَيًّا مِنْ أَحْيَاءِ الْعَر��بِ أَكْثَرَ شَهِيدًا أَعَزَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ. قَالَ: وَقَالَ أَنَسٌ: قُتِلَ مِنْهُمْ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ سَبْعُونَ وَيَوْمَ بِئْرِ مَعُونَةَ سَبْعُونَ وَيَوْمَ الْيَمَامَةِ عَلَى عَهْدِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ سَبْعُونَ. رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيّ
Qatada said: We know no clan of the Arabs which will have more martyrs or be more exalted on the day of resurrection than the Ansar. He told that Anas said seventy of them were killed at the battle of Uhud, seventy at the battle of Bi'r Ma'una, and seventy at the battle of al-Yamama in the time of Abu Bakr. Bukhari transmitted it.
