4905. Narrated Jābir bin 'Abdullāh رضي الله عنه: We were in a Ghazwa (Sufyān once said, in an army) and a man from the emigrants kicked an Anṣārī man (on the buttocks with his foot). The Anṣārī man said, "O the Anṣār! (Help!)" and the emigrant said, "O the emigrants! (Help!)." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ heard that and said, "What is this call for, which is the characteristic of the Period of Ignorance?" They said, "O Allāh's Messenger! A man from the emigrants kicked one of the Anṣār (on the buttocks with his foot)." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "Leave it (that call) for it is a detestable thing." 'Abdullāh bin Ubayy heard that and said, "Have they (the emigrants) done so? By Allāh, if we return to Al-Madīna, indeed, the more honourable will expel therefrom the meaner." When this statement reached the Prophet ﷺ, 'Umar got up and said, "O Allāh's Messenger! Let me chop off the head of this hypocrite ('Abdullāh bin Ubayy)!" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Leave him, lest the people say that Muḥammad kills his companions.” The Anṣār were then more in number than the emigrants when the latter came to Al-Madīna, but later on the emigrants increased in number.
