(3). 3304. Abū Hurairah narrated, that a man from the Anṣār had a guest spend the night with him, but he did not have anything to eat but his meal and the meal for his children, so he said to his wife: 'Put
the children to sleep, extinguish the torches, and give me whatever you have with you for the guest.' So this Ayah was revealed: And they give preference over themselves even though they were in need of that."[1] (Sahīh)

Commentary
In Verse nine of Sūrat Al-Hashr, the Anṣār's open-mindedness and generosity is admired that they welcomed the emigrants warmly, generously and wholeheartedly. They were never jealous and envious of the help that the emigrants were being offered. They rather gave the emigrants preference over themselves even though they were in the need of those very things. This incident of hospitality is also from among their sacrifice.
