Commentary
The residents of Al-Madinah had refused to accept the Caliphate of Yazid bin Mu'āwiyah. They gathered under the leadership of 'Abdullāh bin Matī' against Yazid. He sent an army against the people of Al-Madinah and a great bloodshed took place in the conflict. Many Anṣār were martyred in this massacre. Anas bin Mālik, at that time, was in Al-Baṣrah. When he heard the news of their massacre, he felt grieved for them. Zaid bin Arqam who was in Al-Kūfah, wrote his condolences to Anas bin Mālik and reminded him that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ had supplicated for the Anṣār and their children. (Tuhfat Al-Aḥwadhī).
