(4). 3315. Sufyān narrated from 'Amr bin Dīnār that he heard Jābir bin 'Abdullāh saying: "We were in a battle" – Sufyān said: "They say in was the battle of Banū Muṣṭaliq" – "A man from the Muhājirīn kicked a man from the Anṣār. The man from the Muhājirīn said: 'O Muhājirīn!' The man from the Anṣār said: 'O Anṣār!' The Prophet ﷺ heard that and said: 'What is
this evil call of Jāhiliyyah?' They said: 'A man from the Muhājirīn kicked a man from the Anṣār.' So the Prophet ﷺ said: 'Leave that, for it is offensive.' 'Abdullāh bin Ubayy bin Salūl heard that and said: 'Did they really do that? By Allāh! If we return to Al-Madīnah indeed the more honorable will expel therefrom the meaner.'[1] 'Umar said: 'Allow me to chop off the head of this hypocrite O Messenger of Allāh!' The Prophet ﷺ said: 'Leave him. I do not want the people to say that Muhammad kills his Companions.'" Someone other than 'Amr said: "So his son, 'Abdullāh bin 'Abdullāh, said: 'By Allāh! You shall not return until you say that you are the mean and that the Messenger of Allāh is the honorable.' So he did so."

Commentary
Each group's call to its party for help without making a difference between right and wrong, true and false is a custom and an act of Jāhiliyyah. The Muslim's duty is to support the truth; whether it is in his favor or against him. Therefore the Prophet ﷺ stated this.
