2376. Narrated Anas رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ decided to grant a portion of (the uncultivated land of) Bahraïn to the Anšār. The Anšār said, "(We will not accept it) till you gïve a similar portion to our emigrant brothers (from Quraish)." He said, "(O Anšār!) You will soon see people giving preference to others, so remain patient till you meet me (on the Day of Resurrection)."(1)
2376 - حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: أَرَادَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُقْطِعَ مِنَ البَحْرَيْنِ، فَقَالَتِ الأَنْصَارُ: حَتَّى تُقْطِعَ لِإِخْوَانِنَا مِنَ المُهَاجِرِينَ مِثْلَ الَّذِي تُقْطِعُ لَنَا، قَالَ: «سَتَرَوْنَ بَعْدِي أَثَرَةً، فَاصْبِرُوا حَتَّى تَلْقَوْنِي»

(1) (H. 2376) This prophecy was a sign of the Prophethood of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ. It came true that the Quraish kings had the source of wealth and power in their hands. The Prophet ﷺ tells the Anšār to be patient and wait for a great reward in the Hereafter as a compensation for the pleasures they would miss in this life.
