English translation
162. It was narrated that Nusair bin Dhu'luq said: "Ibn 'Umar used to say: Do not revile the Companions of Muhammad ﷺ, for the stay of anyone of them for a brief period (with the Prophet ﷺ) is better than all the good deeds that anyone of you does in his lifetime.'" (Da'if) (21/11) The Virtues Of The Ansâr The Arabic word Ansâr is the plural of Nāsir which means a helper. When the Prophet ﷺ came from Makkah to Al-Madinah after emigration, the tribes of Aws and Khazraj believed in him and made an agreement of help and cooperation with him. It was in recognition of their meritorious act that the Prophet ﷺ gave them the title Ansâr. (Bukhârī: 3776).
