4331. Narrated Anas bin Mālik رضي الله عنه: When Allāh gave His Messenger ﷺ what He gave of the properties of the Hawāzin tribe as a war booty, the Prophet ﷺ started giving some men 100 camels each. The Anṣār (then) said, "May Allāh forgive Allāh's Messenger ﷺ as he gives to Quraish, and leaves us although our swords are still dribbling with their blood." Allāh's Messenger was informed of their statement, so he sent for the Anṣār and gathered them in a leather tent, and did not call anybody else along with them. When they all gathered, the Prophet ﷺ got up and said, "What is this talk being informed to me about you?" The learned men amongst the Anṣār said, "O Allāh's Messenger! Our chiefs did not say anything, but some people amongst us who are younger in age said, 'May Allāh forgive Allāh's Messenger ﷺ as he gives (of the booty) to Quraish and leaves us, though our swords are still dribbling with their blood'." The Prophet ﷺ said, "I give to these men who have newly deserted heathenism (and embraced Islām) so as to attract their hearts. Won't you be happy that the people take the wealth while you take the Prophet ﷺ with you to your homes? By Allāh, what you are taking is better than whatever they are taking." They (i.e., the Anṣār) said, "O Allāh's Messenger! We are satisfied." The Prophet ﷺ then said to them. "You will find others favoured over you greatly, so be patient till you meet Allāh and His Messenger ﷺ, and I will be at the Al-Haud (Tank Al-Kauthar) then." Anas added: But they did not remain patient.

4331 - حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: قَالَ نَاسٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ، حِينَ أَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا أَفَاءَ مِنْ أَمْوَالِ هَوَازِنَ، فَطَفِقَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُعْطِي رِجَالًا المِائَةَ مِنَ الإِبِلِ، فَقَالُوا: يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُعْطِي قُرَيْشًا وَيَتْرُكُنَا، وَسُيُوفُنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ، قَالَ أَنَسٌ: فَحُدِّثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمَقَالَتِهِمْ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى الأَنْصَارِ فَجَمَعَهُمْ فِي قُبَّةٍ مِنْ أَدَمٍ، وَلَمْ يَدْعُ مَعَهُمْ غَيْرَهُمْ، فَلَمَّا اجْتَمَعُوا قَامَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: «مَا حَدِيثٌ بَلَغَنِي عَنْكُمْ»، فَقَالَ فُقَهَاءُ الأَنْصَارِ: أَمَّا رُؤَسَاؤُنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَلَمْ يَقُولُوا شَيْئًا، وَأَمَّا نَاسٌ مِنَّا حَدِيثَةٌ أَسْنَانُهُمْ فَقَالُوا: يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُعْطِي قُرَيْشًا وَيَتْرُكُنَا، وَسُيُوفُنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «فَإِنِّي أُعْطِي رِجَالًا حَدِيثِي عَهْدٍ بِكُفْرٍ أَتَأَلَّفُهُمْ، أَمَا تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ النَّاسُ بِالأَمْوَالِ، وَتَذْهَبُونَ بِالنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى رِحَالِكُمْ، فَوَاللَّهِ لَمَا تَنْقَلِبُونَ بِهِ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا يَنْقَلِبُونَ بِهِ» قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ رَضِينَا، فَقَالَ لَهُمُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «سَتَجِدُونَ أُثْرَةً شَدِيدَةً، فَاصْبِرُوا حَتَّى تَلْقَوُا اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَإِنِّي عَلَى الحَوْضِ» قَالَ أَنَسٌ: «فَلَمْ يَصْبِرُوا»
