And indeed, soon you will see that others will be given preference over you. So be patient until you meet me at the Pond of Kawthar.

He (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O group of Ansar! Shall I not narrate to you a hadith about yourselves? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O group of Ansar! The people said: O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)! We are present. He (peace be upon him) said: You people say: A man has become inclined towards his own area and he loves his own tribe! We have said this! O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)! He (peace be upon him) said: Then is this my name? He (peace be upon him) said: Never. Surely, I am Allah’s servant and His Messenger. I migrated towards you. Living is with you and dying is also with you. The narrator says all the companions began to weep and said: O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)! The only reason we said this was that nearness to Allah and His Messenger (peace be upon him) was our objective. He (peace be upon him) said: Surely, Allah and His Messenger (peace be upon him) both affirm you and accept your excuse.

Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that one day the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting on the pulpit. He (peace be upon him) had taken his cloak in the manner of Ihram and had tied a black band on his head. He (peace be upon him) praised and glorified Allah, then said: O people! You are many and the Ansar are few, to the extent that they will become like the amount of salt in food. So whoever has any dealings with them should accept their good deeds and overlook their faults.
