Sahih al-Bukhari 4337 (Book 64, Hadith 366) #4139
The Reward of Presence

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) was left alone in a battle and his companions fled. He called out to the Ansar, who responded and helped him defeat the infidels. The Prophet (ﷺ) rewarded them with his presence rather than material possessions.

Narrated Anas Bin Malik: When it was the day (of the battle) of Hunain, the tributes of Hawazin and Ghatafan and others, along with their animals and offspring (and wives) came to fight against the Prophet The Prophet had with him, ten thousand men and some of the Tulaqa. The companions fled, leaving the Prophet alone. The Prophet then made two calls which were clearly distinguished from each other. He turned right and said, "O the group of Ansar!" They said, "Labaik, O Allah's Messenger ! Rejoice, for we are with you!" Then he turned left and said, "O the group of Ansar!" They said, "Labaik! O Allah's Messenger ! Rejoice, for we are with you!" The Prophet at that time, was riding on a white mule; then he dismounted and said, "I am Allah's Slave and His Apostle". The infidels then were defeated, and on that day the Prophet gained a large amount of booty which he distributed amongst the Muhajirin and the Tulaqa and did not give anything to the Ansar. The Ansar said, "When there is a difficulty, we are called, but the booty is given to other than us". The news reached the Prophet and he gathered them in a leather tent and said, "What is this news reaching me from you, O the group of Ansar?" They kept silent, He added," O the group of Ansar! Won't you be happy that the people take the worldly things and you take Allah's Messenger to your homes reserving him for yourself?" They said, "Yes". Then the Prophet said, "If the people took their way through a valley, and the Ansar took their way through a mountain pass, surely, I would take the Ansar's mountain pass". Hisham said, "O Abu Hamza (ie Anas)! Did you witness that? " He replied, "And how could I be absent from him?"

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was left alone in a battle against infidels, but he called out to the Ansar for help and they responded. Despite being outnumbered, they were able to defeat their enemies with Allah's help. As a reward for their loyalty and bravery, the Prophet ﷺ gave them something more valuable than material possessions - his presence among them. This hadith teaches us that loyalty and faithfulness are important virtues that should be rewarded with something more meaningful than money or goods - such as appreciation or recognition from those we serve or love. It also reminds us that Allah will always be there to help us if we put our trust in Him and remain loyal to Him even when faced with difficult situations or overwhelming odds.
