Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 39776 — The Battle of Hunayn and the reports

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) that when Allah Almighty gave His Messenger the booty He intended to give on the day of Hunayn, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) distributed that wealth among the people and among those whose hearts were to be reconciled, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) distributed no wealth among the Ansar and gave them nothing. It was as though they felt it when they received no share. He (peace and blessings be upon him) addressed them and said: "O company of the Ansar! Did I not find you astray, and then Allah Almighty guided you through me? You were scattered and divided, and then Allah Almighty brought you together through me. And did I not find you destitute, and then Allah Almighty made you rich through me?" The narrator said: Whenever the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked anything, the Companions would say in reply: "Allah and His Messenger are the greater benefactors." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What prevents you from answering?" The Companions said: "Allah and His Messenger are the greater benefactors." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If you wish, you may say: 'You came to us in such and such a state.' Are you not pleased that the people should go off with sheep and camels, while you go off to your saddles with the Messenger of Allah? Were it not for the Hijrah, I would have been a man of the Ansar. If all the people were to travel in one valley or pass, I would travel in the valley or pass of the Ansar. The Ansar are (like) the garment next to the body and the rest of the people are (like) the outer garment. After me you will witness others being preferred over you, but be patient until you meet me at the Pool."
