2961. Narrated Anas رضي الله عنه: On the day (of the battle) of the Trench, the Anṣār were saying, "We are those who have given the Bai'a (pledge) to Muḥammad ﷺ for Jihād (for ever) as long as we live." The Prophet ﷺ replied to them, "O Allāh! There is no life except the life of the Hereafter. So, honour the Anṣār and emigrants with Your Blessings and Generosity."
2961 - حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، يَقُولُ: كَانَتِ الأَنْصَارُ يَوْمَ الخَنْدَقِ تَقُولُ: [البحر] نَحْنُ الَّذِينَ بَايَعُوا مُحَمَّدَا ... عَلَى الجِهَادِ مَا حَيِينَا أَبَدَا ، فَأَجَابَهُمُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: «اللَّهُمَّ لاَ عَيْشَ إِلَّا عَيْشُ الآخِرَهْ ... فَأَكْرِمِ الأَنْصَارَ، وَالمُهَاجِرَهْ»
