It is narrated from Hazrat Usaid (may Allah be pleased with him) that an Ansari presented himself in the court of the Messenger and said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Just as you have given so-and-so a position, why do you not give me any position?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Soon you will face favoritism after me, at that time be patient until you meet me at the Pond of Kawthar tomorrow."
