Narrated Anas bin Malik:When Allah favored His Apostle with the properties of Hawazin tribe as Fai (booty), he started giving to some Quraishi men even up to one-hundred camels each, whereupon some Ansari men said about Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), "May Allah forgive His Apostle! He is giving to (men of) Quraish and leaves us, in spite of the fact that our swords are still dropping blood (of the infidels)" When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was informed of what they had said, he called the Ansar and gathered them in a leather tent and did not call anybody else along, with them. When they gathered, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to them and said, "What is the statement which, I have been informed, and that which you have said?" The learned ones among them replied," O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! The wise ones amongst us did not say anything, but the youngsters amongst us said, 'May Allah forgive His Apostle; he gives the Quraish and leaves the Ansar, in spite of the fact that our swords are still dribbling (wet) with the blood of the infidels.' " Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) replied, I give to such people as are still close to the period of Infidelity (i.e. they have recently embraced Islam and Faith is still weak in their hearts). Won't you be pleased to see people go with fortune, while you return with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to your houses? By Allah, what you will return with, is better than what they are returning with." The Ansar replied, "Yes, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), we are satisfied' Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said to them." You will find after me, others being preferred to you. Then be patient till you meet Allah and meet His Apostle at Al-Kauthar (i.e. a fount in Paradise)." (Anas added:) But we did not remain patient

حدثنا ابو اليمان، اخبرنا شعيب، حدثنا الزهري، قال اخبرني انس بن مالك، ان ناسا، من الانصار قالوا لرسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم حين افاء الله على رسوله صلى الله عليه وسلم من اموال هوازن ما افاء، فطفق يعطي رجالا من قريش الماية من الابل فقالوا يغفر الله لرسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يعطي قريشا ويدعنا، وسيوفنا تقطر من دمايهم قال انس فحدث رسول الله بمقالتهم، فارسل الى الانصار، فجمعهم في قبة من ادم، ولم يدع معهم احدا غيرهم، فلما اجتمعوا جاءهم رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال " ما كان حديث بلغني عنكم ". قال له فقهاوهم اما ذوو اراينا يا رسول الله فلم يقولوا شييا، واما اناس منا حديثة اسنانهم فقالوا يغفر الله لرسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يعطي قريشا ويترك الانصار، وسيوفنا تقطر من دمايهم. فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " اني اعطي رجالا حديث عهدهم بكفر، اما ترضون ان يذهب الناس بالاموال وترجعون الى رحالكم برسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فوالله ما تنقلبون به خير مما ينقلبون به ". قالوا بلى يا رسول الله قد رضينا. فقال لهم " انكم سترون بعدي اثرة شديدة، فاصبروا حتى تلقوا الله ورسوله صلى الله عليه وسلم على الحوض ". قال انس فلم نصبر
