Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 8897 — I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying

حَدَّثَنَا مِقْدَامٌ : ثَنَا أَصْبَغُ : ثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ : حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو صَخْرٍ ، أَنَّ يَحْيَى بْنَ النَّضْرِ ، حَدَّثَهُ ، عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ : أَلَا إِنَّ النَّاسَ دِثَارٌ ، وَإِنَّ الْأَنْصَارَ شِعَارٌ ، وَلَوْ أَنَّ النَّاسَ سَلَكُوا وَادِيًا ، وَسَلَكَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ شُعْبَةً لَاتَّبَعْتُ شُعْبَةَ الْأَنْصَارِ ، وَلَوْلَا الْهِجْرَةُ لَكُنْتُ امْرَأً مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ ، فَمَنْ وَلِيَ مِنْ أَمْرِهِمْ شَيْئًا فَلْيُحْسِنْ إِلَى مُحْسِنِهِمْ ، وَلْيَتَجَاوَزْ عَنْ مُسِيئِهِمْ ، وَمَنْ أَفْزَعَهُمْ فَقَدْ أَفْزَعَ هَذَا الَّذِي بَيْنَ هَذَيْنِ I " وَأَشَارَ إِلَى صَدْرِهِ يَعْنِي : قَلْبَهُ .
لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ إِلَّا يَحْيَى بْنُ النَّضْرِ ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ : أَبُو صَخْرٍ .
Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: "I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying on the pulpit: 'Indeed, the people are like the outer garment (dithar), and the Ansar are like the garment next to the body (shi'ar). If the people were to travel through a valley and the Ansar through a mountain pass, I would follow the pass of the Ansar. Were it not for the Hijrah (and its merit), I would have been one of the Ansar. So whoever is put in charge of any of their affairs, let him treat the good-doers among them well and overlook the wrongdoers among them. And whoever frightens them has frightened this (being) that is between these two.' And he (peace and blessings be upon him) pointed to his chest, meaning his heart."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "This hadith was narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) only by Yahya bin al-Nadr (may Allah have mercy on him), and Abu Sakhr (may Allah have mercy on him) is alone in narrating it."
