It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) distributed some things among the Quraysh and other Arab tribes, and nothing from it came to the share of the Ansar. This matter came to their minds and such talk became frequent, until one man even said that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has joined his own people. Hearing this, Hazrat Sa’d bin Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) presented himself in the court of the Prophet and said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! The Ansar tribe is burdened in their minds regarding you, that what method did you adopt in distributing this war booty: you distributed it among your own people and gave large gifts to the Arab tribes, and the Ansar did not get any share from it." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him, "Sa’d! On which side are you in this matter?" He replied, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! What is my status? I am only one individual of my people, and what else am I besides that?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Gather your people regarding this matter." So Hazrat Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) went out and gathered everyone. Some Muhajireen also came, and Hazrat Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) let them go in, so they went inside. Some other Muhajireen came, but he stopped them. In short, when everyone had gathered, Hazrat Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) presented himself in the court of the Prophet and said that the Ansar have gathered. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to them, and after praising and glorifying Allah, said, "O group of Ansar! What are these things that are reaching me from your side, that you have some displeasure? Were you not in misguidance, and Allah honored you with guidance? Were you not in financial hardship, and Allah honored you with wealth? Were you not enemies of one another, and Allah placed love for each other in your hearts?" They said, "It is Allah and His Messenger’s favor and kindness." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Why do you not answer me regarding my words? By Allah! If you wish, you could say—and you would be truthful in it—you came to us when your own people had abandoned you, we gave you refuge; you came to us in a state of fear, we gave you security. Are you not pleased that people take away cows and goats, and you take the Messenger of Allah with you and return to your homes? By Him in Whose hand is the life of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), if people walk on one path and you walk on another, I will choose your path. O Allah! Have mercy on the Ansar, their sons, and their grandsons." At this, they all began to weep until their beards became wet with their tears, and they said, "We are pleased with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding our share and the distribution." After this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) returned, and the people also dispersed.
