Sahih Muslim Book - 12, Hadith - 2436

حَدَّثَنِى حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى التُّجِيبِىُّ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِى يُونُسُ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ أَخْبَرَنِى أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ أَنَّ أُنَاسًا مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ قَالُوا يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ حِينَ أَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ مِنْ أَمْوَالِ هَوَازِنَ مَا أَفَاءَ فَطَفِقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- يُعْطِى رِجَالاً مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ الْمِائَةَ مِنَ الإِبِلِ فَقَالُوا يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ يُعْطِى قُرَيْشًا وَيَتْرُكُنَا وَسُيُوفُنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ. قَالَ أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ فَحُدِّثَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- مِنْ قَوْلِهِمْ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى الأَنْصَارِ فَجَمَعَهُمْ فِى قُبَّةٍ مِنْ أَدَمٍ فَلَمَّا اجْتَمَعُوا جَاءَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَقَالَ « مَا حَدِيثٌ بَلَغَنِى عَنْكُمْ ». فَقَالَ لَهُ فُقَهَاءُ الأَنْصَارِ أَمَّا ذَوُو رَأْيِنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَلَمْ يَقُولُوا شَيْئًا وَأَمَّا أُنَاسٌ مِنَّا حَدِيثَةٌ أَسْنَانُهُمْ قَالُوا يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لِرَسُولِهِ يُعْطِى قُرَيْشًا وَيَتْرُكُنَا وَسُيُوفُنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « فَإِنِّى أُعْطِى رِجَالاً حَدِيثِى عَهْدٍ بِكُفْرٍ أَتَأَلَّفُهُمْ أَفَلاَ تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ النَّاسُ بِالأَمْوَالِ وَتَرْجِعُونَ إِلَى رِحَالِكُمْ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَوَاللَّهِ لَمَا تَنْقَلِبُونَ بِهِ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا يَنْقَلِبُونَ بِهِ ». فَقَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ رَضِينَا. قَالَ « فَإِنَّكُمْ سَتَجِدُونَ أَثَرَةً شَدِيدَةً فَاصْبِرُوا حَتَّى تَلْقَوُا اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَإِنِّى عَلَى الْحَوْضِ ». قَالُوا سَنَصْبِرُ.

It was narrated from Yunus, from ibn Shihab, who said: “Anas bin Malik informed me, that on the day of Hunain, when Allah granted the wealth of Hawazin as Fay to His Messenger (SAW) and Messenger of Allah (SAW) started to distribute it, giving one hundred camels to some men of the Quraish, some people among the Ansar said: “May Allah forgive the Messenger of Allah (SAW), he has given to the Quraish and he has ignored us, while our swords are still dripping with their blood.”” Anas bin Malik said: “The Messenger of Allah (SAW) was told about what they had said, and he summoned the Ansar to a tent made of leather. When they had gathered, he came to them and addressed them, and said: ‘What is that I have heard you are saying?’ The Fuqaha (the learned and wise) among the Ansar said: ‘As for the wise ones among us, O Messenger of Allah (SAW), they did not say any thing, but some of us are young in age, and they said: ‘May Allah forgive the Messenger of Allah (SAW), he has given to the Quraish and he has ignored us, while our swords are still dripping with their blood.’’” The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: “I give to man who have only recently left disbelief behind, so as to incline their hearts (towards faith). Does it not please you that the people are leaving with the wealth while you are leaving with the Messenger of Allah (SAW)? By Allah, what you are returning with is better than what they are returning with.” They said: ‘Yes, O Messenger of Allah (SAW), we are pleased.’ He said: ‘You are going to see others being preferred over you, so be patient until you meet Allah and His Messenger, for I will be at the Cistern (Haud Al-Kauthar).’ They said: ‘We will be patient.’
