Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Sahihah

Sayyiduna Harith bin Ziyad Sa’idi Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that on the day of the Trench, I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and he was taking the pledge of allegiance from people for migration. I said: O Messenger of Allah! Take his pledge as well. He asked: “Who is he?” I said: He is my uncle’s son, Hawt bin Yazid or Yazid bin Hawt. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “I will not take your pledge, because people migrate to you (the Ansar), not you to them. By Him in Whose hand is my soul! Whoever continues to love the Ansar until he meets Allah, he will meet Allah in the state that Allah loves him, and whoever continues to bear enmity towards the Ansar until he meets Allah, he will meet Allah in the state that Allah bears enmity towards him.”
