When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ conquered Hunayn, he distributed the spoils, giving generously to those whose hearts were to be reconciled. Word reached him that the Ansar wished they had received what others had received. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood and addressed them. He praised Allah and extolled Him, then said, "Company of Ansar, did I not find you astray and Allah guided you through me, poor and Allah enriched you through me, and divided and Allah united you through me?"They kept saying, "Allah and His Messenger have shown the greatest favor."He said, "Will you not answer me?"They replied, "Allah and His Messenger have shown the greatest favor."He said, "If you wished, you could say such and such, and the matter is such and such," mentioning several things which Amr claimed he could not remember.Then he said, "Are you not pleased that the people should depart with sheep and camels while you depart with the Messenger of Allah to your dwellings? The Ansar are the inner garment and the people are the outer garment. Were it not for the Hijrah, I would be a man of the Ansar. If the people took one valley or mountain pass and the Ansar took another, I would take the valley and pass of the Ansar. After me you will encounter favoritism shown to others, so be patient until you meet me at the Pool."
حدثنا سريج بن يونس حدثنا إسمعيل بن جعفر عن عمرو بن يحيى بن عمارة عن عباد بن تميم
أن رسول الله ﷺ لما فتح حنينا قسم الغنائم فأعطى المؤلفة قلوبهم فبلغه أن الأنصار يحبون أن يصيبوا ما أصاب الناس فقام رسول الله ﷺ فخطبهم فحمد الله وأثنى عليه ثم قال يا معشر الأنصار ألم أجدكم ضلالا فهداكم الله بي وعالة فأغناكم الله بي ومتفرقين فجمعكم الله بي ويقولون الله ورسوله أمن فقال ألا تجيبوني فقالوا الله ورسوله أمن فقال أما إنكم لو شئتم أن تقولوا كذا وكذا وكان من الأمر كذا وكذا لأشياء عددها زعم عمرو أن لا يحفظها فقال ألا ترضون أن يذهب الناس بالشاء والإبل وتذهبون برسول الله إلى رحالكم الأنصار شعار والناس دثار ولولا الهجرة لكنت امرأ من الأنصار ولو سلك الناس واديا وشعبا لسلكت وادي الأنصار وشعبهم إنكم ستلقون بعدي أثرة فاصبروا حتى تلقوني على الحوض
