Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If people were to walk in one valley or mountain pass, and the Ansar were to walk in another valley or mountain pass, I would certainly walk in the valley or mountain pass of the Ansar. And if migration were not an important matter, I would have been one of the Ansar myself.
