2189. Usaid bin Ḥuṣair said: "A man from the Anṣār said, 'O Messenger of Allāh! You appointed so-and-so and did not appoint me. So, the Prophet ﷺ said, 'After me you will see preferential treatment, so be patient till you meet me at Al-Hawd.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ.
٢١٨٩ - حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ ، عَنْ أُسَيْدِ بْنِ حُضَيْرٍ، «أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ» قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، اسْتَعْمَلْتَ فُلَانًا وَلَمْ تَسْتَعْمِلْنِي، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: إِنَّكُمْ سَتَرَوْنَ بَعْدِي أَثَرَةً فَاصْبِرُوا حَتَّى تَلْقَوْنِي عَلَى الْحَوْضِ. وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

The Prophet ﷺ means to say that there is no discrimination against anybody in my time. Each person is being utilized in accordance with his worth and ability. This — preferential treatment to some — shall happen after me. But let no one of you make it a reason for dissention and discard. Be patient in life and you will get your reward in the next world.
