3899. Ubayy bin Ka'b narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "If it were not for the Hijrah, I would be a man from the Anṣār." (Saḥīh) [He said:] And with this same chain, from the Prophet ﷺ, that he said: "If the people were to pass through a valley or a path, then I would be with the Anṣār." He said: This Hadīth is Ḥasan.

٣٨٩٩ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَبُو عَامِرٍ ، عَنْ ‌زُهَيْرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ ‌عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ ، عَنِ ‌الطُّفَيْلِ بْنِ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، عَنْ ‌أَبِيهِ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَوْلَا الْهِجْرَةُ لَكُنْتُ امْرَأً مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ». ٣٨٩٩ (م) - وَبِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَوْ سَلَكَ الْأَنْصَارُ» وَادِيًا أَوْ شِعْبًا لَكُنْتُ مَعَ الْأَنْصَارِ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ.

Commentary

The statement of the Prophet ﷺ is to acknowledge the efforts and struggles of Anṣār regarding the promotion and promulgations of the religion of Islam. He appreciated them, so much so, that he declared that if it was possible to ignore the difference of emigration, he would have preferred to imagine himself as member of the Anṣār community.
