Sahih al-Bukhari 4333 (Book 64, Hadith 362) #4135
Appreciation of the Ansar

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) showed his appreciation for the Ansar by offering them himself instead of war booty.

Narrated Anas: When it was the day of (the battle of) Hunain, the Prophet confronted the tribe of Hawazin while there were ten-thousand (men) besides the Tulaqa (ie those who had embraced Islam on the day of the Conquest of Mecca) with the Prophet. When they (ie Muslims) fled, the Prophet said, "O the group of Ansari" They replied, "Labbaik, O Allah's Messenger and Sadaik! We are under your command". Then the Prophet got down (from his mule) and said, "I am Allah's Slave and His Apostle". Then the pagans were defeated. The Prophet distributed the war booty amongst the Tulaqa and Muhajirin (ie Emigrants) and did not give anything to the Ansar. So the Ansar spoke (ie were dissatisfied) and he called them and made them enter a leather tent and said, Won't you be pleased that the people take the sheep and camels, and you take Allah's Messenger along with you?" The Prophet added, "If the people took their way through a valley and the Ansar took their way through a mountain pass, then I would choose a mountain pass of the Ansar".
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَزْهَرُ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ، أَنْبَأَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ الْتَقَى هَوَازِنُ وَمَعَ النَّبِيِّ عَشَرَةُ آلاَفٍ وَالطُّلَقَاءُ فَأَدْبَرُوا قَالَ ‏"‏ يَا مَعْشَرَ الأَنْصَارِ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالُوا لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَسَعْدَيْكَ، لَبَّيْكَ نَحْنُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ، فَنَزَلَ النَّبِيُّ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولُهُ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَانْهَزَمَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ، فَأَعْطَى الطُّلَقَاءَ وَالْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَلَمْ يُعْطِ الأَنْصَارَ شَيْئًا فَقَالُوا، فَدَعَاهُمْ فَأَدْخَلَهُمْ فِي قُبَّةٍ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَمَا تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ النَّاسُ بِالشَّاةِ وَالْبَعِيرِ، وَتَذْهَبُونَ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ‏"‏، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏"‏لَوْ سَلَكَ النَّاسُ وَادِيًا وَسَلَكَتِ الأَنْصَارُ شِعْبًا لاَخْتَرْتُ شِعْبَ الأَنْصَارِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ showed his appreciation for the Ansar, a group of people who helped him and his followers when they migrated to Medina. When it was time to distribute war booty, he offered them himself instead of material possessions. He said that if everyone else took their way through a valley, he would take his way through a mountain pass with the Ansar. This shows how much he valued their loyalty and support and wanted to reward them in return. It also teaches us that we should always show our appreciation for those who help us in life, even if it is not with material things but rather with our presence or words of gratitude.
