Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) says that my father ordered me to prepare khazeerah (a dish made from minced meat and flour). When I finished preparing the food, he ordered me to take this food to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). I went to him, and he was at home. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked: "Jabir! What do you have with you? Is there any meat?" I said: No. I returned to my father, and he asked: Did you meet the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)? I said: Yes. He asked: Did you hear anything from him? I said: Yes, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Jabir! What do you have with you? Is there any meat?" My father said: Perhaps the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) desires to eat meat. So he ordered a domesticated goat to be slaughtered. It was slaughtered, then it was roasted. Then my father ordered me to take it to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). I took it, and when he saw me, he asked: "Jabir! What do you have with you?" I informed him (that it was meat). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "May Allah reward the Ansar on our behalf, especially Abdullah bin Amr bin Haram and Sa'd bin Ubadah."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:“The Ansar are the inner garment (i.e., special people) and other people are the outer garment (i.e., general people). If the general people walk in one valley and the Ansar walk in another valley, I would walk in the valley of the Ansar. If there had been no migration, I would have been an Ansari myself.”

Abdur Rahman bin Jabir bin Abdullah narrates from his father that he went out on the day of Harrah. When his foot struck a stone, he said:“May the one who frightened the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) be destroyed.”I asked:“Who frightened the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم )?”He said: The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said:“Whoever frightened this tribe of the Ansar has frightened my heart.”

The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "The Ansar are my sincere companions and confidants; other people increase and decrease. Accept the virtues of the Ansar and overlook their faults." This hadith is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas, Sayyiduna Usaid bin Hudair, Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri, and Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with them).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Bara’ bin ‘Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:“Only a believer will love the Ansar, and only a hypocrite will hate them. Allah will love the one who loves them, and will hate the one who hates them.”

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came out one day with his head wrapped, and the children and servants of the Ansar met him, who at that time were the treasure of the Ansar. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said two or three times: "By Him in Whose hand is my soul! Indeed, I love you." Then he said: "The Ansar have fulfilled their responsibilities, your responsibilities remain, so accept the good deeds of the Ansar and overlook their mistakes."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that a man came to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "These Ansari men and women have gathered in the mosque and are weeping." He asked: "Why are these people weeping?" The man said: "They fear your death." Upon hearing this, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) set out, with a cloak draped over his shoulders and a dust-colored turban tied on his head. He ascended the pulpit; this was his last gathering. He praised and glorified Allah, and then said: "To proceed: O people! The number of people is increasing, and the number of the Ansar is decreasing, until their number will become like the salt in food. (Listen!) Whoever among you becomes a leader over the affairs of Muhammad’s Ummah and has the power to benefit or harm someone, then he should accept the good deeds of the Ansar and overlook their faults."

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us and said: "Be aware! Every person has heirs and property, and my heirs and property are the Ansar; take care of them on my behalf."

Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) saying on the pulpit in favor of the Ansar: "The general people are like the upper garment, and the Ansar are like the lower garment (i.e., the special people). If people walk in one valley and the Ansar walk in another ravine, I will walk in the ravine of the Ansar. If there had been no migration, I would have been among the Ansar. Whoever becomes responsible for the affairs of the Ansar should treat their good people well and overlook the mistakes of those who err. Whoever frightens them has frightened that which is between these two sides." The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said this while pointing to himself.

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Shall I not tell you about the best houses of the Ansar or the best of the Ansar?" The companions said: "O Messenger of Allah! Certainly." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The Banu Najjar are the best, then the Banu Abd al-Ashhal, then the Banu Harith bin Khazraj, and then the Banu Sa'idah." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) closed and opened his fingers, as if throwing something, and said: "There is goodness in all the houses of the Ansar." This hadith is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas, Sayyiduna Abu Usaid Sa'idi, Sayyiduna Abu Humayd Sa'idi, and Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with them).
