Hadith 13574

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا ثَابِتٌ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ : أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَعْطَى أَبَا سُفْيَانَ ، وَعُيَيْنَةَ وَالْأَقْرَعَ ، وَسُهَيْلَ بْنَ عَمَرٍو فِي الْآخِرِينَ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ ، فَقَالَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، سُيُوفُنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ ، وَهُمْ يَذْهَبُونَ بِالْمَغْنَمِ ! فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَجَمَعَهُمْ فِي قُبَّةٍ لَهُ حَتَّى فَاضَتْ ، فَقَالَ : أَفِيكُمْ أَحَدٌ مِنْ غَيْرِكُمْ ؟ قَالُوا : لَا ، إِلَّا ابْنُ أُخْتِنَا ، قَالَ : ابْنُ أُخْتِ الْقَوْمِ مِنْهُمْ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : أَقُلْتُمْ كَذَا وَكَذَا ؟ قَالُوا : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : أَنْتُمْ الشِّعَارُ وَالنَّاسُ الدِّثَارُ ، أَمَا تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ النَّاسُ بِالشَّاةِ وَالْبَعِيرِ ، وَتَذْهَبُونَ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ إِلَى دِيَارِكُمْ ؟ قَالُوا : بَلَى ، قَالَ : " الْأَنْصَارُ كَرِشِي وَعَيْبَتِي ، لَوْ سَلَكَ النَّاسُ وَادِيًا ، وَسَلَكَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ شِعْبًا ، لَسَلَكْتُ شِعْبَهُمْ ، وَلَوْلَا الْهِجْرَةُ لَكُنْتُ امْرَأً مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ " ، وَقَالَ حَمَّادٌ : أَعْطَى مِائَةً مِنَ الْإِبِلِ ، يُسَمِّي كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ هَؤُلَاءِ .
It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the occasion of the Battle of Hunayn, when Allah granted the spoils of Banu Hawazin to the Prophet (peace be upon him), and the Prophet (peace be upon him) began giving one hundred camels each to Uyaina, Aqra’, and others, some of the Ansar said, "May Allah forgive the Prophet (peace be upon him); he is giving to the Quraysh and ignoring us, while the drops of blood are still dripping from our swords." When the Prophet (peace be upon him) learned of this, he called the Ansari companions (may Allah be pleased with them) and said, "Are you not pleased that people go away with wealth and property, and you return home with the Messenger of Allah?" They replied, "Why not, O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)!" Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "By Him in Whose hand is the life of Muhammad (peace be upon him), if people were to walk in one valley and the Ansar in another, I would choose the valley and mountain pass of the Ansar. The Ansar are my shield, and if there had been no migration, I would have been one of the Ansar."
