English translation
2834. Narrated Anas: رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ Allāh's Messenger ﷺ went towards the Khandaq (i.e., trench) and saw the Muhājirūn (emigrants) and the Anṣār digging in a very cold morning as they did not have slaves to do that for them. When he noticed their fatigue and hunger he said, "O Allāh! The real life is that of the Hereafter, (so please) forgive the Anṣār and the Muhājirūn." In its reply the Muhājirūn(1) and the Anṣār said, "We are those who have given the Bai'a (pledge) to Muḥammad ﷺ that we will carry on Jihād as long as we live."
