Sahih al-Bukhari 3778 (Book 63, Hadith 3) #3606
Appreciation of the Ansar

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) was pleased with the Ansar's loyalty and expressed his appreciation for them.

Narrated Anas: On the day of the Conquest of Mecca, when the Prophet had given (from the booty) the Quraish, the Ansar said, "By Allah, this is indeed very strange: While our swords are still dribbling with the blood of Quraish, our war booty are distributed amongst them". When this news reached the Prophet he called the Ansar and said, "What is this news that has reached me from you?" They used not to tell lies, so they replied, "What has reached you is true". He said, "Doesn't it please you that the people take the booty to their homes and you take Allah's Messenger to your homes? If the Ansar took their way through a valley or a mountain pass, I would take the Ansar's valley or a mountain pass".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي التَّيَّاحِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا ـ رضى الله عنه ـ يَقُولُ قَالَتِ الأَنْصَارُ يَوْمَ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ ـ وَأَعْطَى قُرَيْشًا ـ وَاللَّهِ إِنَّ هَذَا لَهُوَ الْعَجَبُ، إِنَّ سُيُوفَنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَاءِ قُرَيْشٍ، وَغَنَائِمُنَا تُرَدُّ عَلَيْهِمْ‏.‏ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ فَدَعَا الأَنْصَارَ قَالَ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ مَا الَّذِي بَلَغَنِي عَنْكُمْ ‏"‏‏.‏ وَكَانُوا لاَ يَكْذِبُونَ‏.‏ فَقَالُوا هُوَ الَّذِي بَلَغَكَ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ أَوَلاَ تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ النَّاسُ بِالْغَنَائِمِ إِلَى بُيُوتِهِمْ، وَتَرْجِعُونَ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ إِلَى بُيُوتِكُمْ لَوْ سَلَكَتِ الأَنْصَارُ وَادِيًا أَوْ شِعْبًا، لَسَلَكْتُ وَادِيَ الأَنْصَارِ أَوْ شِعْبَهُمْ

EXPLANATIONS:
On the day of the Conquest of Mecca by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and his followers, some members of the Ansar were concerned that their enemies were receiving war booty while they had just fought against them. When this news reached Prophet Muhammad ﷺ he called upon them to express his appreciation for their loyalty. He said that if they took a certain path through a valley or mountain pass he would take it too in order to show solidarity with them. This hadith teaches us about loyalty and how it should be appreciated by those who benefit from it. It also shows us how important it is to recognize people’s efforts and contributions in order to maintain good relationships between people.
