It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that once some Ansar gathered and began to say that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has started giving preference to others over us. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to know of this, he gathered all the Ansar and, addressing them in a sermon, said: O group of Ansar! Were you not in a state of humiliation that Allah granted you honor? They said: Allah and His Messenger have spoken the truth. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Were you not astray that Allah honored you with guidance? They said: Allah and His Messenger have spoken the truth. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Were you not suffering from poverty that Allah enriched you? They said: Allah and His Messenger have spoken the truth. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Why do you not accept my words? Do you not say about me that you received me when my own people had abandoned me, you gave me refuge, I came to you in a state of fear, you granted me security? Are you not pleased that people take away cows and goats, and you take the Messenger of Allah and return to your homes? If people walk on one path and you walk on another, I will choose your path, and if there had been no migration, I would have been one of the Ansar. And after me, you will see others being given preference, so be patient until you meet me at the Hawd (Pond) of Kawthar.
