(فَضِيلَةُ أَهْلِ البَيْتِ وَالأَنْصَارِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ)
(The virtue of the Household and the Ansar, may Allah be pleased with them)
Hadith 6249
وَعَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَلَا إِنَّ عَيْبَتِيَ الَّتِي آوِي إِلَيْهَا أَهْلُ بَيْتِي وَإِنَّ كَرِشِيَ الأنصارُ فاعفوا عَن مسيئهم واقبلوا من مُحْسِنِهِمْ» . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَقَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ
Abu Sa'id reported God's messenger as saying, "My confidants to whom I turn are my family, and my close friends are the Ansar, so forgive those of them who do wrong and accept the excuses of those of them who do good." Tirmidhi transmitted it, saying this is a hasan tradition.
