When they had gathered, he came to them and addressed them, and said: ‘What is this that I have heard you are saying?’ The Fuqahâ’ (the learned and wise) among the Anṣâr said: ‘As for the wise ones among us, O Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, they did not say anything, but some of us are young in age, and they said: “May Allâh forgive the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, he has given to the Quraish and he has ignored us, while our swords are still dripping with their blood.”’ “The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: ‘I give to men who have only recently left disbelief behind, so as to incline their hearts (towards faith). Does it not please you that the people are leaving with the wealth while you are leaving with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ? By Allâh, what you are returning with is better than what they are returning with.’ They said: ‘Yes, O Messenger of Allâh, we are pleased.’ He said: ‘You are going to see others being preferred over you, so be patient until you meet Allâh and His Messenger, for I will be at the Cistern (Haud Al-Kauthar).’ They said: ‘We will be patient.’”
