Abu Saeed Khudri reported,

When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ distributed those gifts among the Quraysh and the tribes of the Arabs, and the Ansar received none of it, this clan of the Ansar felt something in their hearts, and talk spread widely among them, until some of them said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ has met up with his own people."Saad bin Ubada came in to him and said, "Messenger of Allah, this clan of the Ansar have found something against you in their hearts because of what you did with this spoil that you obtained. You distributed it among your own people and gave great gifts to the tribes of the Arabs, while this clan of the Ansar received nothing."He asked, "And where do you stand in all this, Saad?"Saad replied, "Messenger of Allah, I am only a man of my people. What am I but one of them?"He said, "Then gather your people for me in this enclosure."So Saad went out and gathered the Ansar in that enclosure. Some men from the Muhajirun came, and he let them be, so they entered. Others came, and he turned them away. When they had assembled, Saad came to him and said, "This clan of the Ansar has gathered for you."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to them, praised Allah and extolled Him as He deserves, then said, "Company of the Ansar, what is this talk that has reached me from you, this resentment you have found within yourselves? Did I not come to you when you were astray, and Allah guided you through me? And destitute, and Allah enriched you? And enemies of one another, and Allah united your hearts?"They said, "Rather, Allah and His Messenger have been more bountiful and more gracious."He said, "Will you not answer me, company of the Ansar?"They said, "With what shall we answer you, Messenger of Allah? To Allah and His Messenger belong all bounty and grace."He said, "By Allah, if you wished, you could say, and you would speak truthfully and be believed, 'You came to us rejected, and we believed you. Forsaken, and we supported you. Driven out, and we sheltered you. Destitute, and we comforted you.' Have you found something in your hearts, company of the Ansar, over some scraps of this world by which I won over a people so they might embrace Islam, while I entrusted you to your own Islam? Are you not content, company of the Ansar, that the people should return with the sheep and camels, while you return with the Messenger of Allah to your dwellings? By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, were it not for the Hijrah, I would have been a man from the Ansar. If the people took one path and the Ansar took another, I would take the path of the Ansar. O Allah, have mercy on the Ansar, on the children of the Ansar, and on the children of the children of the Ansar."The people wept until their beards were soaked, and they said, "We are content with the Messenger of Allah as our share and our portion."Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ departed, and they dispersed.

عن أبي سعيد الخدري قال

لما أعطى رسول الله ﷺ ما أعطى من تلك العطايا في قريش وقبائل العرب، ولم يكن في الأنصار منها شيء وجد هذا الحي من الأنصار في أنفسهم، حتى كثرت فيهم القالة حتى قال قائلهم: لقي رسول الله ﷺ قومه، فدخل عليه سعد بن عبادة، فقال: يا رسول الله، إن هذا الحي قد وجدوا عليك في أنفسهم لما صنعت في هذا الفيء الذي أصبت، قسمت في قومك، وأعطيت عطايا عظاما في قبائل العرب، ولم يك في هذا الحي من الأنصار شيء، قال: فأين أنت من ذلك يا سعد؟ قال: يا رسول الله، ما أنا إلا امرؤ من قومي، وما أنا؟ قال: فاجمع لي قومك في هذه الحظيرة، قال: فخرج سعد، فجمع الأنصار في تلك الحظيرة، قال: فجاء رجال من المهاجرين، فتركهم، فدخلوا وجاء آخرون فردهم، فلما اجتمعوا أتاه سعد فقال: قد اجتمع لك هذا الحي من الأنصار، قال: فأتاهم رسول الله ﷺ فحمد الله وأثنى عليه، بالذي هو له أهل، ثم قال: يا معشر الأنصار ما قالة بلغتني عنكم وجدة وجدتموها في أنفسكم، ألم آتكم ضلالا فهداكم الله؟ وعالة فأغناكم الله؟ وأعداء فألف الله بين قلوبكم؟ قالوا: بل الله ورسوله أمن وأفضل. قال: ألا تجيبونني يا معشر الأنصارقالوا: وبماذا نجيبك يا رسول الله، والله ولرسوله المن والفضل. قال: أما والله لو شئتم لقلتم فلصدقتم وصدقتم، أتيتنا مكذبا فصدقناك، ومخذولا فنصرناك، وطريدا فآويناك، وعائلا فآسيناك، أوجدتم في أنفسكم يا معشر الأنصار في لعاعة من الدنيا، تألفت بها قوما ليسلموا، ووكلتكم إلى إسلامكم؟ أفلا ترضون يا معشر الأنصار أن يذهب الناس بالشاة والبعير، وترجعون برسول الله في رحالكم؟ فوالذي نفس محمد بيده لولا الهجرة لكنت امرأ من الأنصار، ولو سلك الناس شعبا، وسلكت الأنصار شعبا لسلكت شعب الأنصار، اللهم ارحم الأنصار، وأبناء الأنصار، وأبناء أبناء الأنصار قال: فبكى القوم، حتى أخضلوا لحاهم، وقالوا: رضينا برسول الله قسما وحظا، ثم انصرف رسول الله ﷺ وتفرقوا.
