Mukhtasar Muslim (Abridged) 1727 — Virtues of the Ansar

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "The Ansar are my intestines and my bundles (meaning, those who keep my clothes, i.e., my special trusted and reliable people). And people will increase while the Ansar will decrease, so accept their good deeds and overlook their faults."
