English translation

3778. Narrated Anas رضي الله عنه: On the day of the conquest of Makkah, when the Prophet ﷺ had given the Quraish (from the booty), the Anṣār said, "By Allāh, this is indeed very strange. While our swords are still dribbling with the blood of Quraish, our war booty are distributed amongst them." When this news reached the Prophet ﷺ he called the Anṣār and said, "What is this news that has reached me from you?" They used not to tell lies, so they replied, "What has reached you is true." He said, "Doesn't it please you that the people take the booty to their homes and you take Allāh's Messenger ﷺ to your homes? If the Anṣār took their way through a valley or mountain path, I would take the Anṣār's valley and their mountain path."

3778 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الوَلِيدِ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي التَّيَّاحِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، يَقُولُ: قَالَتِ الأَنْصَارُ يَوْمَ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ، وَأَعْطَى قُرَيْشًا: وَاللَّهِ إِنَّ هَذَا لَهُوَ العَجَبُ، إِنَّ سُيُوفَنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَاءِ قُرَيْشٍ، وَغَنَائِمُنَا تُرَدُّ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَدَعَا الأَنْصَارَ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ: «مَا الَّذِي بَلَغَنِي عَنْكُمْ»، وَكَانُوا لاَ يَكْذِبُونَ، فَقَالُوا: هُوَ الَّذِي بَلَغَكَ، قَالَ: «أَوَلاَ تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ النَّاسُ بِالْغَنَائِمِ إِلَى بُيُوتِهِمْ، وَتَرْجِعُونَ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى بُيُوتِكُمْ؟ لَوْ سَلَكَتِ الأَنْصَارُ وَادِيًا، أَوْ شِعْبًا لَسَلَكْتُ وَادِيَ الأَنْصَارِ أَوْ شِعْبَهُمْ»
