And the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No one who believes in Allah and the Last Day can harbor hatred against the Ansar. If there had been no migration, I would have been one of the Ansar. If people were to walk in one valley and the Ansar in another valley, I would walk with the Ansar in their valley. The Ansar are my inner garment and the general people are my outer garment.
