حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ، عَنْ زُهَيْرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ، عَنِ الطُّفَيْلِ بْنِ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَوْلَا الْهِجْرَةُ لَكُنْتُ امْرَأً مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ " .
´Narrated Ubayy bin Ka'b:` that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "If it were not for the Hijrah, I would be a man from the Ansar."
Brief Explanation
1؎: The purpose of this statement is to reassure the Ansar, meaning that for the sake of pleasing the Ansar, I could go so far as to say that if it were possible, I too would have become one of the Ansar. However, changing lineage is not possible. This is an acknowledgment of the Ansar’s devotion and sacrifice for Islam. The next statement, however, is possible: “If the Ansar were to walk in any valley, I would be with them.” If such a situation were to arise, since the mutual love between the Muhajirun and the Ansar was for the sake of Allah and His Messenger, such a situation never actually arose between them. Radi Allahu anhum.

Explanation:
1:
This statement is intended to reassure the Ansar,
meaning, for the sake of pleasing the Ansar, I could go so far that if it were possible, I would have become one of the Ansar myself.
However, changing lineage is not possible; this is an acknowledgment of the Ansar’s devotion and sacrifice for Islam.
The next statement, however, is possible: “If the Ansar were to walk in a valley, I would walk with them.” If such a situation were to arise, since the mutual love between the Muhajirun and the Ansar was for the sake of Allah and His Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), such a situation never actually arose between them.
Radi Allahu anhum ajma‘in.
