Musnad Ishaq bin Rahwayh 550 — Greatness and virtue of the Ansar
أَخْبَرَنَا النَّضْرُ، نا شُعْبَةُ، نا مُحَمَّدٌ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: لَوْ أَنَّ الْأَنْصَارَ سَلَكُوا وَادِيًا أَوْ شِعْبًا وَسَلَكَ النَّاسُ وَادِيًا أَوْ شِعْبًا لَسَلَكْتُ وَادِيَ الْأَنْصَارِ، وَلَوْلَا الْهِجْرَةُ لَكُنْتُ امْرَءًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ، ثُمَّ يَقُولُ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: بِأَبِي وَأُمِّي مَا ظَلَمَ، لَقَدْ آوَوْهُ وَنَصَرُوهُ.
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If the Ansar were to walk in one valley and other people were to walk in another valley, I would walk in the valley of the Ansar, and if there had been no migration, I would have been one of the Ansar." Then Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: May my parents be sacrificed for you, you did not commit any injustice, they (the Ansar) gave you refuge and helped you.
