Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 34530 — The virtue of the Ansar

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If the people were to travel through one valley or mountain pass, and the Ansar through another valley or mountain pass, I would certainly travel through the valley or mountain pass of the Ansar. And were it not that the emigration was an important matter, I too would have been a man of the Ansar."
