Anas bin Malik (RA) reported that when on the Day of Hunain Allah conferred upon His Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) the riches of Hawazin (without armed encounter), the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) set about distributing to some persons of Quraish one hundred camels. Upon this they (the young people from the Ansar) said: May Allah grant pardon to the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) that he bestowed (these camels) upon the people of Quraish, and he ignored us, whereas our swords are still dripping blood. Anas bin Malik (RA) said: Their statement was conveyed to the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and he sent (someone) to the Ansar and gathered them under a tent of leather. When they had assembled, the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) came to thera and said: What is this news that has reached me from you? The wise people of the Ansar said: Messenger of Allah, so far as the sagacious amongst us are concerned they have said nothing, but we have amongst us persons of immature age; they said: May Allah grant pardon to the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) that he gave to the Quraish and ignored us (despite the fact) that our swords are besmeared with their blood. Upon this the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: I give (at times material gifts) to persons who were quite recently in the state of unbelief, so that I may incline them to truth. Don't you feel delighted that people should go with riches, and you should go back to your places with the Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) ? By Allah, that with which you would return is better than that with which they would return. They said: Yes, Messenger of Allah, we are pleased. The Holy Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said too: You would find marked preference (in conferring of the material gifts) in future, so you should show patience till you meet Allah and His Messenger and I would he at the Haud Kauthar. They said: We would show patience.

Anas bin Malik (RA) reported that when Allah conferred upon His Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) the riches of Hawazin (without armed encounter); the rest of the hadith is the same except some variation (of words): "Anas said: We could not tolerate it and he also said: The people were immature in age."

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Anas bin Malik (RA) through another chain of transmitters.

Anas bin Malik (RA) reported that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) gathered the Ansar and said: Is there someone alien among you? They said: No, but only the son of our sister. Upon this the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: The son of the sister of the people is included among the tribe, and (farther) said: The Quraish have recently abandoned Jahiliya and have just been delivered from distress; I, therefore, intend to help them and conciliate them. Don't you feel happy that the people should return with worldly riches and you return with the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) to your houses? (So far as my love for you is concerned I should say) if the people were to tread a valley and the Ansar tread a narrow path (in a mountain) I would tread the narrow path of the Ansar.

Anas bin Malik (RA) reported: When Makkah was conquered, he (the Holy Prophet) distributed the spoils among the Quraish. Upon this the Ansar said: It is strange that our swords are dripping with their blood, whereas our spoils have been given to them (to the Quraish). This (remark) reached the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) , and so he gathered them and said: What is this that has been conveyed to me about you? They said: (Yes) it is that very thing that has reached you- and they were not (the people) to speak lie. Upon this he said: Don't you like that the people should return to their houses along with worldly riches, whereas you should return to your houses with the Messenger of Allah? ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) If the people were to tread a valley or a narrow path, and the Ansar were also to tread a valley or a narrow path, I would tread the valley along with the Ansar or the narrow path along with the Ansar.

Anas bin Malik (RA) reported that when it was the Day of Hunain there came the tribes of Hawazin, Ghatafan and others along with their children and animals, and there were with the Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) that day ten thousand (soldiers), and newly freed men (of Makkah after its conquest). All these men (once) turned their backs, till he (the Holy Prophet) was left alone. He (the Messenger of Allah) ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) on that day called twice and he did not interpose anything between these two (announcements) He turned towards his right and said: O people of Ansar! They said: At thy beck and call (are we), Messenger of Allah. Be glad we are with thee. He then turned towards his left and said: O people of Ansar. They said: At thy beck and call (are we). Be glad we are with thee. He (the Holy Prophet) was riding a white mule. He dismounted and said: I am the servant of Allah and His Apostle. The polytheists suffered defeat and the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) (may peace he upon him) acquired a large quantity of spoils, and he distributed them among the refugees and the people recently delivered (of Makkah) but did not give anything to the Ansar. The Ansar said: In the hour of distress it is we who are called (for help), but the spoils are given to other people besides us. This (remark) reached him (the Holy Prophet), and he gathered them in a tent and said: What is this news that has reached me on your behalf? They kept silence. Upon this he said: O people of Ansar, don't you like that people should go away with worldly (riches), and you go away with Muhammad taking him to your houses? They said: Yes, happy we are Messenger of Allah. He (the Holy Prophet) said: If the people were to tread a valley, and the Ansar were to tread a narrow path, I would take the narrow path of the Ansar. Hisham said: I asked Abu Hamza if he was present there. He said: How could I be absent from him?

Anas bin Malik (RA) reported: We conquered Makkah and then we went on an expedition to Hunain. The polytheists came, forming themselves into the best rows that I have seen. They first formed the rows of cavalry, then those of infantry, and then those of women behind them. Then there were formed the rows of sheep and goats and then of other animals. We were also people large in number, and our (number) had reached six thousand. And on one side Khalid bin Walid was in charge of the cavalry. And our horses at once turned back from our rear. And we could hardly hold our own when our horses were exposed, and the bedouins and the people whom we knew took to their heels. (Seeing this) the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) called thus: O refugees,O refugees. He then said: O Ansar,O Ansar. (Anas said: This hadith is transmitted by a group of eminent persons.) We said: At thy beck and call are we, Messenger of Allah. The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) then advanced and he (Anas) said: By Allah, we had not yet reached them when Allah defeated them, and we took possession of the wealth and we then marched towards Ta'if, and we besieged them for forty nights, and then came back to Makkah and encamped (at a place). The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) began to bestow a hundred camels upon each individual. The rest of the hadith is the same.

Rafi' bin Khadij reported that the Messenger of Allah; ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) gave to Abu Sufyan (RA) bin Harb and Safwan. bin Umayya and 'Uyaina bin Hisn and Aqra' bin Habis, i. e. to every one of these persons, one hundred of camels, and gave to 'Abbas bin Mirdas less than this number. Upon this 'Abbas bin Mirdis said: You allot the share of my booty and that of my horse between 'Uyaina and Aqra'. Both Uyaina and Aqra' are in no way more eminent than Mirdas (my father) in the assembly. I am in no way inferior to any one of these persons. And he who is let down today would not be elevated. He (the narrator) said: The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) then completed one hundred camels for him.

This hadith has been narrated by Sa'id bin Masruq with the same chain of transmitters (with the words): "The Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) distributed the spoils of Hunain, and he (the Holy Prophet) gave one hundred camels to Abu Sufyan (RA) bin Harb. The rest of the hadith is the same, but with this addition: "He bestowed upon" Alqama bin 'Ulatha one hundred (camels)."

This hadith has been narrated by Sa'id with the same chain of transmitters, but no mention has been made of Alqama bin 'Ulatha, nor of safwin bin Umayya, and he did not mention the verse in his hadith.
