It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna al-Tufayl bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) said to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Do you need a strong fortress and protection? It is the fortress of the tribe of Daws." But the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) declined, because this honor was destined for the Ansar. The narrator says: Then al-Tufayl emigrated, and a man from his people emigrated with him. That man fell ill, and, overcome by distress (or a similar word), he went to an arrowhead and cut off his finger joints with it, and he died. Then al-Tufayl saw him in a dream and asked: What happened to you? He said: I was forgiven by the blessing of my emigration to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Al-Tufayl asked: What is the matter with your hands? He replied: I was told: We will not repair what you yourself have ruined. Al-Tufayl related this incident to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) raised both his hands and supplicated: 'Allahumma wa li-yadayhi faghfir' (O Allah, forgive his hands as well). This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates concerning this statement of Allah Almighty: "You are the best nation brought forth for mankind" [Surah Al Imran: 110] , that he said: "It refers to those who emigrated with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to Madinah." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The Muhajirun will have pulpits of gold (on the Day of Resurrection) on which they will sit, and they will be safe from the great terror of that Day." Then Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) would say: By Allah, if I could give this virtue to anyone, I would give it to my own people (the Ansar). This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs did not record it. Mention of the virtues of the people of Badr.
