Sahih al-Bukhari 3799 (Book 63, Hadith 24) #3627
Taking Care of Companions

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) asked the people to take care of the Ansar, who were his companions and had fulfilled their obligations and rights. He also asked them to accept the good deeds of those who did good and forgive those who made mistakes.

Narrated Anas bin Malik: Abu Bakr and Al-'Abbas passed by one of the gatherings of the Ansar who were weeping then. He (ie Abu Bakr or Al-'Abbas) asked, "Why are you weeping?" They replied, "We are weeping because we remember the gathering of the Prophet with us". So Abu Bakr went to the Prophet and told him of that. The Prophet came out, tying his head with a piece of the hem of a sheet. He ascended the pulpit which he never ascended after that day. He glorified and praised Allah and then said, "I request you to take care of the Ansar as they are my near companions to whom I confided my private secrets. They have fulfilled their obligations and rights which were enjoined on them but there remains what is for them. So, accept the good of the good-doers amongst them and excuse the wrongdoers amongst them".
حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى أَبُو عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا شَاذَانُ، أَخُو عَبْدَانَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ بْنُ الْحَجَّاجِ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، يَقُولُ مَرَّ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَالْعَبَّاسُ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ بِمَجْلِسٍ مِنْ مَجَالِسِ الأَنْصَارِ وَهُمْ يَبْكُونَ، فَقَالَ مَا يُبْكِيكُمْ قَالُوا ذَكَرْنَا مَجْلِسَ النَّبِيِّ مِنَّا‏.‏ فَدَخَلَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِذَلِكَ ـ قَالَ ـ فَخَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ وَقَدْ عَصَبَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ حَاشِيَةَ بُرْدٍ ـ قَالَ ـ فَصَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ وَلَمْ يَصْعَدْهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ، فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ أُوصِيكُمْ بِالأَنْصَارِ، فَإِنَّهُمْ كَرِشِي وَعَيْبَتِي، وَقَدْ قَضَوُا الَّذِي عَلَيْهِمْ، وَبَقِيَ الَّذِي لَهُمْ، فَاقْبَلُوا مِنْ مُحْسِنِهِمْ، وَتَجَاوَزُوا عَنْ مُسِيئِهِمْ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about taking care of one's companions. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was passing by a gathering of his companions, known as the Ansar, when he noticed they were weeping. Abu Bakr or Al-'Abbas asked why they were crying, and they replied that it was because they remembered how much time they spent with him in gatherings. Upon hearing this, the Prophet ﷺ felt moved by their love for him and decided to address them from atop a pulpit which he never ascended again after that day. He praised Allah before asking everyone present to take care of his beloved companions, reminding them that these people had fulfilled all their obligations and rights but still deserved more from others in terms of kindness and understanding for any mistakes made along the way.
