He (peace and blessings be upon him) said to them: "O company of the Ansar!" They said: "Here we are, O Messenger of Allah, may our fathers and mothers be sacrificed for you." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Would that, when you come down for your Eid (that is, Friday), you stay until you hear what I have to say." They said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah, may our fathers and mothers be sacrificed for you." Then when Friday came, they attended the Friday prayer with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Then, having finished, he (peace and blessings be upon him) began praying two voluntary units (rak'ahs) in his very place, whereas before that, when he (peace and blessings be upon him) had prayed the Friday prayer, he would go home and pray these two units at home; but on that day he (peace and blessings be upon him) performed them in the mosque. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) finished, he sat facing them. The Ansar followed him (peace and blessings be upon him) from the mosque until they came to him (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to them: "O company of the Ansar!" They said: "Here we are, O Messenger of Allah, may our fathers and mothers be sacrificed for you." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "In the age of ignorance (Jahiliyyah), when Allah was not worshipped, you used to bear the burden of the helpless from your wealth, do good deeds and maintain ties of kinship; until, when Allah favoured you with Islam and Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) came, you are putting up walls (around your orchards)! Yet in what a human being eats (from the orchard) there is reward, in what a bird eats there is reward, and in what a wild beast eats there is also reward."
