Commentary
Azad is a Yemeni tribe and all the people of Anṣār of Al-Madīnah belong to this tribe. The Anṣār helped the faith and religion of Islam at the time of dire need. They defended the Prophet ﷺ and Islam, and proved their bravery and loyalty. They helped the emigrants as well; therefore, Allāh ﷻ favored them and gave them honor and respect.
