English translation

3799. Narrated Anas bin Mālik رضي الله عنه: Abū Bakr and Al-'Abbās رضي الله عنهما passed by one of the gatherings of the Anṣār who were weeping then. He (i.e., Abū Bakr or Al-'Abbās) asked, “Why are you weeping?” They replied, “We are weeping because we remember the gathering of the Prophet ﷺ with us.”(1) So, Abū Bakr went to the Prophet ﷺ and told him of that. The Prophet ﷺ came out, tying his head with a piece of the hem of a sheet. He ascended the pulpit which he never ascended after that day. He glorified and praised Allāh and then said, “I request you to take care of the Anṣār as they are my near companions to whom I confided my private secrets. They have fulfilled their obligations and rights which were enjoined on them but there remains what is for them. So, accept the good (deeds) of the good-doers amongst them and excuse the wrong-doers amongst them.”

3799 - حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى أَبُو عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا شَاذَانُ، أَخُو عَبْدَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ بْنُ الحَجَّاجِ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، يَقُولُ: مَرَّ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، وَالعَبَّاسُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، بِمَجْلِسٍ مِنْ مَجَالِسِ الأَنْصَارِ وَهُمْ يَبْكُونَ، فَقَالَ: مَا يُبْكِيكُمْ؟ قَالُوا: ذَكَرْنَا مَجْلِسَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنَّا، فَدَخَلَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِذَلِكَ، قَالَ: فَخَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَدْ عَصَبَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ حَاشِيَةَ بُرْدٍ، قَالَ: فَصَعِدَ المِنْبَرَ، وَلَمْ يَصْعَدْهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ اليَوْمِ، فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «أُوصِيكُمْ بِالأَنْصَارِ، فَإِنَّهُمْ كَرِشِي وَعَيْبَتِي، وَقَدْ قَضَوُا الَّذِي عَلَيْهِمْ، وَبَقِيَ الَّذِي لَهُمْ، فَاقْبَلُوا مِنْ مُحْسِنِهِمْ، وَتَجَاوَزُوا عَنْ مُسِيئِهِمْ»
