Zayd from the Prophet (s). حديث: ح دث ن ا م ح مد ب ن ب شار ح دث ن ا غ ن د ر ح دث ن ا ش ع ب ة ق ال س م ع ت ق ت اد ة ع ن أ ن س ب ن م ال ك ع ن أ س ي د ب ن ح ض ري ر ضي الل ه ع ن ه م أ ن ر ج لا م ن الا ن ص ار ق ال ي ا ر س ول الل ه أ لا ت س ت ع م ل ن ي ك ام اس ت ع م ل ت ف لا ن ا ق ال س ت ل ق و ن ب ع د ي أ ث ر ة ف اص بر وا ح تى ت ل ق و ين ع لى ال ح و ض Narrated Usaid bin Hudair: A man from the Ansar said, "O Allah's Messenger!(ﷺ) Will you appoint me as you have appointed so-and-so? The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "After me you will see others given preference to you; so be patient till you meet me at the Hawd (i.e. Lake of Kauthar). (on the Day of Resurrection). ب ن د ار م ح م د بن ب ش ار بن ع ث م ان بن د او د بن ك ي س ان (ع) These names are worth remembering, these are people who spent their lives in preserving ahadith - Usayd b. Hudayr was the leader of the Ansar

2 - Tasta milunee: give me some authority, position of leadership - Uthrah: Others being preferred over you - This hadith has been narrated in other Books of hadith also: Other chains The man spoke privately ع ن أ س ي د ب ن ح ض ري أ ن ر ج لا م ن الا ن ص ار خ لا ب ر س ول الل ه ﷺف ق ال أ لا ت س ت ع م ل ن ى ك ام اس ت ع م ل ت ف لا ن ا ف ق ال إ ن ك م س ت ل ق و ن ب ع د ى أ ث ر ة ف اص بر وا ح تى ت ل ق و ىن ع لى ال ح و ض [صحیح مسلم:[ 4885 It has been narrated on the authority of Usaid b. Hudair that a man from the Ansar took the Messenger of Allah aside and said to him: Will you not appoint me (ﷺ) (ﷺ) governor as you have appointed so and so? He said: You will surely come across preferential treatment after me, so you should be patient until you meet me at the Cistern (Haud-i-Kauthar). - When we look at the various narrations of the same hadith we learn different details. So here we see that the man asked the Prophet (s) privately In situations where there is bias, after Sabr the second thing to do: Give others their rights and ask Allah for yours ع ن ع ب د الل ه ق ال ق ال ل ن ا ر س ول الل ه ﷺ إ ن ك م س تر و ن ب ع د ي أ ث ر ة و أ م ور ا ت ن ك ر ون ه ا ق ال وا ف ام ت ا م ر ن ا ي ا ر س ول الل ه ق ال أ دوا إ ل ي ه م ح قه م و س ل وا الل ه ح قك م [صحيح البخاری: 7052] (ﷺ) Narrated `Abdullah, he said: Allah's Messenger said to us, "You will see after me, others will be given

3 preference over you, and (you will see) other matters that you will disapprove of." They asked, "What do you order us to do, O Allah's Messenger?(ﷺ) (under such circumstances)?" He said, "Pay their rights to them and ask your right from Allah. - - There are many things to learn from this - Firstly, that in the life of th eprophet (s) as there were many conquests, the Prophet (s) appointed different people as governors, so a man from the Ansar wished for such a position also - USayd b. Hudayr did not narrate the name of this sahabi, in order to preserve his honour - When the man asked this qesiton, the PRophet (s) did not answer him -with a yes or no - instead he told him about more things he would see in the future that would hurt him, so he (s) urged him to be patient - These were the Ansar who are being told to be patient: The Ansar who worked so hard for the cause of ISlam - they began the work, they sacriliced their lives and properties - women became widows and children were orphaned - and now with conquests other people were being given big postions. Some times it happens with us also that we work so hard and other people come and reap the fruit, they come and enjoy it. And we are excluded from it. So when you are in this situation what should you do? Observe patient, fullil your obligations and ask Allah for your

4 rights. At such times, you may want to quit, give up that there is no point for you to continue and keep working shaytan harms the servant here. - As parents also, you work so hard to look after your children: your blood, sweat, money and when they grow up and get married they forget you this happens in many things in life: family, business, etc. You start the work, you make it grow and then you are kicked out of it. Similarly you may have been a major part of an organization, you built its foundation and then you are removed, pushed out. you have no part in it anymore. So the Prophet (s) s advice: much worse things will happen, so be patient, dont lose heart. What great wisdom of the Prophet (S) - he prepared this companion and the rest of the Ansar for the bias they were going to face in the future. HE said, be patient: you do your job, fullill your obligation and Allah will not waste your reward - so meet me at the HAwd! What a great reward for those who are patient. ف اص بر وا ح تى ت ل ق و ين ع لى ال ح و ض..so be patient till you meet me at the Tank (i.e. Lake of Kauthar).. The Prophet (s) s meeting with the Ansar at Hawd Kawthar The first meeting will be at the Hawd

5 ع ن ال نب ي ص لى الل ه ع ل ي ه و س ل م أ ن ا ف ر ط ك م ع لى ال ح و ض [صحيح البخاری: 6575] Prophet (ﷺ) said: I shall be there at the Cistern before you. إ ن ك م س تر و ن ب ع د ي أ ث ر ة ف اص بر وا ح تى ت ل ق و ين ع لى ال ح و ض [البخاری: 3163] Prophet (ﷺ) said: "After me you will see others given preference over you in this respect (in which case) you should be patient till you meet me at the Tank (of Al- Kauthar). Many Ansar at the Hawd أ ن ن ب ى الل ه صلى الله عليه وسلم ق ال إ ىن ل ب ع ق ر ح و ضى أ ذ ود ال ناس لا ه ل ال ي م ن أ ضر ب ب ع ص اى ح تى ي ر ف ض ع ل ي ه م [صحيح مسلم: 6130] Prophet (ﷺ) said: (On the Day of Judgement) I will be in the back part of the Hawd and I would be pushing back the crowd for the people of Yemen and I would strike them away with my staff until the water (of the Haud) would spout forth for them. - People of Yemen: Ansar - meaning, today if people push you away, then tomorrow I will push others away from you so that you drink the water of Hawd. The water of the Hawd will flow towards them وهذه كرامة لا هل اليمن في تقدميهم في الشرب منه مجازاة لهم بحسن صنيعهم وتقدمهم في الاسلام والا نصار من اليمن فيدفع غريهم حتى يشربوا كام دفعوا في الدنيا عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أعداءه والمكروهات ومعنى يرفض عليهم أي يسيل عليهم [صحيح مسلم بشرح النووي] The statement ي 0 ر ف 0 ض ع 0 ل ي ه م means, that the water will flow and come towards them.

6 Imam Nawawi has written in the explanation of Sahih Muslim, This honour is for the people of Yemen, so that they are given preference in drinking water, because they quickly embraced Islam, and offered their best services. The Ansar are from the people of Yemen. The Prophet (s) will move other people away so that they will be able to drink, just like in this world these people defended the Prophet (s) from his enemies, and protected him from hardship. - Hawd Kawthar: What is it like? - Every Prophet will have a hawd on the day of Judgment, and each will boast about how busy it will be, and I hope that mine will be the most frequented one. His minbar will be upon the hawd, and he will arrive there before the people to welcome them. Someone requested the Prophet (S) for intercesiion on the day of Judgment, he said come Lind me - where will I found you? Search for me at the Bridge, or by the Scales or the HAwd - I will be in one of these three places. The width of hawd kawthar is like the distance between San aa and Madina. Its soil is of pure musk, its pebbles are pearls and both its borders are of towers of pearls. There are two streams one of silver and one of gold reaching it coming from paradise. ITs cups on its sides more numerous than the stars int he sky - its water colder

7 than ice, more fragrant than musk, sweeter than honey and whiter than milk. Whoever will drink one sip of it will never become thirsty, and his face will never become gloomy. Who will drink it? THose who hold on to the Sunnah, who strive in the way of Allah. People frequeting it most: fuqaraa muhajireen and those who invent things in the religion will be deprived from it even though tthey will tell him (s) about their lineage and th eone who rejects its existence will not drink from it. - Huge, beautiful, thirst quenching water. for who? The one who remains patient in the way of Allah, remains Lirm on Quran and sunnah the Ansar will come and the Prophet (s) will make way for them, pushing other people aside for their sake. حديث: ح دث ن ي م ح مد ب ن ب شار ح دث ن ا غ ن د ر ح دث ن ا ش ع ب ة ع ن ه ش ام ق ال س م ع ت أ ن س ب ن م ال ك ر ضي الل ه ع ن ه ي ق ول ق ال ال نب ي ص لى الل ه ع ل ي ه و س ل م ل لا ن ص ار إ ن ك م س ت ل ق و ن ب ع د ي أ ث ر ة ف اص بر وا ح تى ت ل ق و ين و م و ع د ك م ال ح و ض Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet (ﷺ) said to the Ansar, "After me you will see others given preference over you; so be patient till you meet me, and your promised place (of meeting) will be the Tank (i.e. Lake of Kauthar). - Uthrah: To prefer oneself over others, as in not give them their right and take theirs

8 - His advice: do not rebel, be patient, fullill your obligations - ب ن د ار م ح مد بن ب شار بن ع ث ام ن بن د او د بن ك ي س ان (ع) 3222 The Prophet (s) s special advice to Ansar to observe patience Patience regarding worldly matters ع ن ع م ر و ب ن ع و ف و ه و ح ل يف ب ن ي ع ام ر ب ن ل و ي و ك ان ش ه د ب د ر ا م ع ر س ول الل ه ﷺ أ ن ر س ول الل ه ﷺ ب ع ث أ ب ا ع ب ي د ة ب ن ال ج راح إ لى ال ب ح ر ي ن ي ا يت ب ج ز ي ت ه ا و ك ان ال نب ي ﷺ ه و ص ال ح أ ه ل ال ب ح ر ي ن و أ مر ع ل ي ه م ال ع لا ء ب ن ال ح ضر م ي ف ق د م أ ب و ع ب ي د ة مب ال م ن ال ب ح ر ي ن ف س م ع ت الا ن ص ار ب ق د وم أ يب ع ب ي د ة ف و اف و ا ص لا ة ال ف ج ر م ع ر س ول الل ه ﷺ ف ل ام ص لى ر س ول الل ه ﷺ ان صر ف ف ت ع رض وا ل ه ف ت ب سم ر س ول الل ه ﷺ ح ني ر آه م ث م ق ال أ ظ نك م س م ع ت م أ ن أ ب ا ع ب ي د ة ق د م ب شي ء م ن ال ب ح ر ي ن ق ال وا أ ج ل ي ا ر س ول الل ه ق ال أ ب شر وا و أ مل وا م ا ي سر ك م ف و الل ه م ا ال ف ق ر أ خ شى ع ل ي ك م و ل ك ني أ خ شى ع ل ي ك م أ ن ت ب س ط ال دن ي ا ع ل ي ك م ك ام ب س ط ت ع لى م ن ك ان ق ب ل ك م ف ت ن اف س وه ا ك ام ت ن اف س وه ا ف ت ه ل ك ك م ك ام أ ه ل ك ت ه م [سنن ابن ماجة: 3997 ] It was narrated from Amr bin Awf, who was an ally of Banu Amir bin Lu ai and was present at (the battle of) Badr with the Messenger of Allah,(ﷺ) (he said) that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent Abu Ubaidah bin Jarrah to Bahrain to collect the Jizyah, and the Prophet (ﷺ) had made a treaty with the people of Bahrain, and he appointed as their governor Ala bin Hadrami. Abu Ubaidah came with the wealth from Bahrain and the Ansar heard that Abu Ubaidah had come, so they attended the Fajr prayer with the Messenger of Allah had prayed, so (ﷺ) When the Messenger of Allah.(ﷺ) they came to him. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) smiled when he saw them, then he said: I think you have heard

9 that Abu Ubaidah has brought something from Bahrain? They said: Yes, O Messenger of Allah. - How honest they were! He said: Be happy and hope for that which will make you happy. By Allah, I do not fear poverty for you, rather I fear that you will enjoy ease and plenty like those who came before you, and that you will compete with one another as they did, and you will be destroyed as they were. - Meaning with your Iman if you are in poverty then there is no harm,bu tif you have welath then it will distract you, corrput you: it will lead you to competition in increase, jealousy, pride, etc. Patience in political matters عن أنس بن مالك قال : أىت أسيد بن حضري الا شهلي النقيب إلى رسول الله ﷺ فذكر له أهل بيت من الا نصار فيهم حاجة قال وقد كان قسم طعاما فقال النبي ﷺ تركتنا حتى ذهب ما في أيدينا فا ذا سمعت بشيء قد جاءنا فاذكر لي أهل البيت قال : فجاءه بعد ذلك طعام من خيبر شعري ومتر قال وجل أهل ذلك البيت نسوة قال فقسم في الناس وقسم في الا نصار ف ا جزل وقسم في أهل ذلك البيت ف ا جزل فقال له أسيد بن حضري يشكر له جزاك الله يا نبي الله عنا أطيب الجزاء أو قال خريا فقال ﷺ وأنتم معشر الا نصار فجزاكم الله أطيب الجزاء أو قال خريا ما علمتكم أعفة صبر وسترون بعدي أثرة في الا مر والعيش فاصبروا حتى تلقوين على الحوض [صحيح ابن حبان: 7277 ] Anas b. Malik reported, that Usayd b. Hudayr al-ash-hali was the naqeeb (leader, representative - just like 12 leaders were appointed for the bani Israel) and he came to the Prophet (s) and told him about a household of the Ansar who was suffering from extreme hunger. When the Prophet (s) distributed the food, he said, You did not say anything to us and now nothing is left from what was

10 in our hand, so now the next time you hear that there is some food then remind me of that family. He said, after that some food from Khayber was brought to the Prophet (s) that constituted of some barley and dates. He said that family was mostly of women. So the Prophet (s) distributed that food amongst the people, the Ansar and gave a lot, and also to that family. Usayd b. ج 0 زاك اهلل ي 0 ا ن 0 بي اهلل said, Hudayr thanked the Prophet (s) and May Allah reward you o Prophet of Allah on ع 0 نا أط 0 يب الج 0 زاء our behalf, abundantly and purely. So he (s) said, And you too o assembly of the Ansar, may Allah reward you with purest reward. All I know about you is that you refrain from asking and are amongst the patient, and after me you will see others being preferred in positions of power and life, so be patient until you see me at Hawd Kawthar. Patience over illness عن أيب هريرة قال:جاءت الحمى إلى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال: ابعثني إلى آثر أهلك عندك فبعثها إلى الا نصار فبقيت عليهم ستة أيام وليالهن فاشتد عليهم فاتاهم في ديارهم فشكوا ذلك إليه فجعل النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يدخل دارا دارا وبيتا بيتا يدعو لهم بالعافية. فلام رجع تبعته امرأة منهم فقالت والذي بعثك بالحق إين لمن الا نصار وإن أيب لمن الا نصار فادع الله لي كام دعوت ل لا نصار قال:ما شي ت إن شي ت دعوت الله أن يعافيك وإن شي ت صبرت ولك الجنة". قالت: بل أصبر ولا أجعل الجنة خطرا [صحيح الا دب المفرد : 387 [ AbyHurayrah (r) reported that fever came to the Prophet (s) (in a person) and the person said, Allow me to stay with your family so the Prophet (s) sent him to the Ansar until he remained with them for six days and nights. So they also got high fever, and they complained to the Prophet (s), so he (s) went into every house and every

11 room and prayed for well-being for them. When the Prophet (s) was returning, a woman came after him and said, By the One who has sent you with the truth, am I from the Ansar and is my father from the Ansar also? The way you prayed for the Ansar, please for me also. The Prophet (S) said, What would you like? If you like I will pray for you to be safe from this fever, and if you want you can be patient and you will have paradise. She said I will be patient and not put my Jannah at risk. - - This does not mean we should not want relief from illness, but that we should observe patience with the treatment also. Patience over the loss of children عن زهري بن علقمة رضي الله عنه قال جاءت امرأة من الا نصار إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في ابن لها مات فكا ن القوم عنفوها فقالت يا رس ول الله قد مات لي ابنان منذ دخلت في الا سلام س وى هذا فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم والله لقد احتظرت من النار بحظار شديد [صحيح الترغيب والترهيب: 2004 ] Zuhayr b. Alqamah (r) reported that a woman from the Ansar came to the Prophet (s), regarding her son who had died and her people were very hard on her (that why are you going to tell the Prophet (s)?) so she said, Allah s Messenger (s), since I embraced Islam, besides this son I have also lost two other sons, so the Prophet (s) said, By Allah, you have a strong shield against the fire. - So if a person is patient over such loss then with his patience, he is safe from the punishment of hell

12 - So regarding many hardships, the PRophet (s) advised and encouraged the Ansar to observe patience. حديث: ح دث ن ا ع ب د الل ه ب ن م ح مد ح دث ن ا س ف ي ان ع ن ي ح ي ى ب ن س ع يد س م ع أ ن س ب ن م ال ك ر ضي الل ه ع ن ه ح ني خ ر ج م ع ه إ لى ال و ل يد ق ال د ع ا ال نب ي ص لى الل ه ع ل ي ه و س ل م الا ن ص ار إ لى أ ن ي ق ط ع ل ه م ال ب ح ر ي ن ف ق ال وا لا إ لا أ ن ت ق ط ع لا خ و ان ن ا م ن ال م ه اج ر ين م ث ل ه ا ق ال إ ما لا ف اص بر وا ح تى ت ل ق و ين ف ا ن ه س ي ص يب ك م ب ع د ي أ ث ر ة Narrated Yahya bin Sa`id: That he heard Anas bin Malik when he went with him to Al-Walid, saying, "Once the Prophet (ﷺ) called the Ansar in order to give them the territory of Bahrain but they said, 'No, unless you give to our emigrant brethren a similar share.' On that he said 'If you do not agree to it, then be patient till you meet me, for after me others will be given preference to you. ' امل س ن د ي أ ب و ج ع ف ر ع ب د اهلل بن م ح م د (خ) WAleed. khlaeefah in the Umawiyy / Umayyad era - When the Muhajirin were given, the Ansar were not given - they objected but later were Line. Here they are being given, but they are not willing to accept until the Muhajireen are also given, because their quality is: They prefer others over themselves even though they are themselves in need - Atharah / Uthrah: same word with different spellings

13 - The character, akhlaq of Ansar, their virtue: they preferred the muhajireen over themselves. Other chains of narration The Ansar s immediate response, we will be patient ع ن أ ن س ب ن م ال ك ق ال د ع ان ا ر س ول الل ه ﷺ ل ي ك ت ب ل ن ا ب ال ب ح ر ي ن ق ط يع ة ق ال ف ق ل ن ا لا إ لا أ ن ت ك ت ب لا خ و ان ن ا م ن ال م ه اج ر ين م ث ل ه ا ف ق ال إ ن ك م س ت ل ق و ن ب ع د ي أ ث ر ة ف اص بر وا ح تى ت ل ق و ين ق ال وا ف ا ن ا ن ص بر [مسند احمد: 12706] Anas (r) reported that once the Messenger of Allah (s) called us in ordert o distribute amongst us the wealth that had arrived from Bahrayn. But we said that first our Immigrant brothers share should be separated. Upon seeing this gnerosity the Prophet (s) said, After me you will see others being preferred over you, but you should be patience until you meet me. The Ansar said, we will definitely be patient. ف ا ن ك م س ت ج د ون أ ث ر ة ش د يد ة ف اص بر وا ح تى ت ل ق و ا الل ه و ر س ول ه ف ا ىن ع لى ال ح و ض ق ال وا س ن ص بر.[صحیح مسلم: 2483 ] You would find marked preference (in future), so you should show patience till you meet Allah and His Messenger and I would be at the Haud. They (the Ansar) said: We would show patience. The humility of Anas (r) إ ن ك م س ت ج د ون ب ع د ي أ ث ر ة ش د يد ة ف اص بر وا ح تى ت ل ق و ا الل ه و ر س ول ه ف ا ين ف ر ط ك م ع لى ال ح و ض ق ال أ ن س ف ل م ن ص بر. [مسند احمد: ] You will find others favored over you greatly, so be patient till you meet Allah and His Messenger. I am your

14 predecessor at the Lake-Fount... " Anas said: We could not tolerate it. - - Meaning, we tried but were not able to obsrve it with excellence - You cannot gain ilm with physical comfort. - Sometimes with siblings also - you Lind some being preferred over you by your parents - but if you start backbiting about your own parents you are destroying your deeds - The Prophet (s) s wisdom, how he Linished the negative sentiment here. Advised them to observe sabr and hope for ajr in there hereafter. When we entertain such negativity, self-pity we fall in a ditch, we harm ourselves - The quality of the Ansar: not willing to take anything until their brothers are given what they are being given: for one cannot be a believer until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself - PAtience is not weakness, its strength because you are Lighting yourself - The sister is sharing her experience - that with her friend she was discussing this problem: how in their families they are being pushed away and they feel that others are taking their rights so she is thanking Ustadhah and she cannot wait till the end of class so she can share this with her friend also

15 - Many times we are striving but we forget that there is also reward for that striving - so remember that reward so you can continue - Can we cry in sabr? yes. Can we complain to Allah? yes. not to others because there is no benelit. - ب اب د ع اء ال نب ي ص لى الل ه ع ل ي ه و س ل م أ ص ل ح الا ن ص ار و ال م ه اج ر ة Chapter: The supplication of the Prophet (s), O Allah! Improve and make right the state of the Ansar and the Muhajirun - Aslih: meaning make them saalih, righteous حديث: ح دث ن ا آد م ح دث ن ا ش ع ب ة ح دث ن ا أ ب و إ ي اس م ع او ي ة ب ن ق رة ع ن أ ن س ب ن م ال ك ر ضي الل ه ع ن ه ق ال ق ال ر س ول الل ه ص لى الل ه ع ل ي ه و س ل م لا ع ي ش إ لا ع ي ش الا خ ر ة ف ا ص ل ح الا ن ص ار و ال م ه اج ر ة و ع ن ق ت اد ة ع ن أ ن س ع ن ال نب ي ص لى الل ه ع ل ي ه و س ل م م ث ل ه و ق ال ف اغ ف ر ل لا ن ص ار Narrated Anas bin Malik: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "There is no life except the life of the Hereafter; so, O Allah! Improve the state of the Ansar and the Muhajirun." And Anas added that the Prophet (ﷺ) also said, "O Allah! Forgive the Ansar. (and the muhajireen) - He (s) said this while digging the trench, he made this dua for them because this was a time of extreme bitter cold, hardship, hunger - peoplpe were digging the treaches and carrying the mud on their backs -

16 there were huge rocks in the way also - but they did not give up, when we face a little bit of cold, if the temperature drops slightly we think of just listening to the class from home - آد م بن أ يب إ ي اس أ ب و الح س ن الخ ر اس اين (خ ت س ق) Other chains of narration Made du a for them while digging the trench ع ن أ ن س أ ن ر س ول الل ه ص لى الل ه ع ل ي ه و س ل م ق ال و ه م ي ح ف ر ون ال خ ن د ق الل ه م لا خ ري إ لا خ ري الا خ ر ه ف ا ص ل ح الا ن ص ار و ال م ه اج ر ه [مسند احمد: ] Narrated Anas that when the companions were digging الل ه م ال خ ي ر إ ال said (ﷺ) the Trench, the Messenger of Allah O" Allah, there is no good خPPPPP ي ر اآل خPPPPPP ر ه فPPPP أ صPPPPPPPPPPPP ل ح األ نPPPP ص ار و امل PPP ه اجPPPPPP ر ه except the good of the Hereafter; so confer Your Blessings on the Ansar and the Emigrants." Receiving the Prophet (s) s dua for working very hard in the way of Allah in extreme cold and with the help of no servant عن أ ن س ر ضي الل ه ع ن ه ي ق ول خ ر ج ر س ول الل ه ص لى الل ه ع ل ي ه و س ل م إ لى ال خ ن د ق ف ا ذ ا ال م ه اج ر ون و الا ن ص ار ي ح ف ر ون في غ د اة ب ار د ة ف ل م ي ك ن ل ه م ع ب يد ي ع م ل ون ذ ل ك ل ه م ف ل ام ر أ ى م ا ب ه م م ن ال نص ب و ال ج وع ق ال الل ه م إ ن ال ع ي ش ع ي ش الا خ ر ه ف اغ ف ر ل لا ن ص ار و ال م ه اج ر ه ف ق ال وا م ج يب ني ل ه ن ح ن ال ذ ين ب اي ع وا م ح مد ا ع لى ال ج ه اد م ا ب ق ين ا أ ب د ا [صحیح البخاری: 2834 ] Narrated Anas: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) went out towards the Trench and saw the Emigrants and the Ansar digging the trench in the extreme cold morning. - - You can relate with this very well. We try to get all the outside work done before the winter: change the

17 car tires etc. but here the enemy came upon them in winter They had no slaves to do that (work) for them. When the Prophet saw their hardship and hunger, he said, 'O Allah! The real life is the life of the Hereafter, so please forgive Ansar and the Emigrants." They said in reply to him, "We are those who have given the Pledge of allegiances to ﷺMuhammad for to observe Jihad as long as we live. - There are different wording (of poetry) narrated in different ahadith The Prophet (s) prayed for them for barakah ع ن أ ن س ر ضي الل ه ع ن ه ق ال ج ع ل ال م ه اج ر ون و الا ن ص ار ي ح ف ر ون ال خ ن د ق ح و ل ال م د ين ة و ي ن ق ل ون ال تر اب ع لى م ت ون ه م و ه م ي ق ول ون ن ح ن ال ذ ين ب اي ع وا م ح مد ا ع لى الا س لا م م ا ب ق ين ا أ ب د ا ق ال ي ق ول ال نب ي ص لى الل ه ع ل ي ه و س ل م و ه و ي ج يب ه م الل ه م إ ن ه لا خ ري إ لا خ ري الا خ ر ه ف ب ار ك في الا ن ص ار و ال م ه اج ر ه ق ال ي و ت و ن مب ل ء ك في م ن ال شع ري ف ي ص ن ع ل ه م ب ا ه ال ة س ن خ ة ت وض ع ب ني ي د ي ال ق و م و ال ق و م ج ي اع و ه ي ب ش ع ة في ال ح ل ق و ل ه ا ر يح م ن نت [صحیح البخاری: 4100 ] Narrated Anas that the Emigrants and the Ansar were digging the trench around Medina and were carrying the mud on their backs while saying, "We are those who ﷺ have given the pledge of allegiance to Muhammad for Islam as long as we live." The Prophet (ﷺ) said in الPPPPPPل ه م إ نPPPPPP ه ال خPPPPPPPP ي ر إ ال خPPPPPPPP ي ر اآل خPPPPPPPPP ر ه ف 0000 ب ار ك فPPPPPPP ي saying, reply to their "O Allah!

(Anas) said: The people used to bring a handful of barley, and the meal used to be prepared in a smelly fat and it used to

18 be presented to the people who were hungry, and it used to stick to their throats and had a nasty smell. - But this is all they had to eat, so they ate. Despite this they continued to work and did not give up. We look at what worldly benelit we can get from our work and not where we can serve the deen better. What should our priority always be when making a decision? What will benelit me more in the akhirah? Even though it may be hard for me now. The Prophet (s) himself carried mud at this occasion and recited poetry while being covered in dust ع ن ال بر اء ر ضي الل ه ع ن ه ق ال ك ان ال نب ي ص لى الل ه ع ل ي ه و س ل م ي ن ق ل ال تر اب ي و م ال خ ن د ق ح تى أ غ م ر ب ط ن ه أ و اغ بر ب ط ن ه ي ق ول و الل ه ل و لا الل ه م ا اه ت د ي ن ا و لا ت ص دق ن ا و لا ص ل ي ن ا ف ا ن ز ل ن س ك ين ة ع ل ي ن ا و ث بت الا ق د ام إ ن لا ق ي ن ا إ ن الا لى ق د ب غ و ا ع ل ي ن ا إ ذ ا أ ر اد وا ف ت ن ة أ ب ي ن ا و ر ف ع ب ه ا ص و ت ه أ ب ي ن ا أ ب ي ن ا [صحیح البخاری: 4104 ] (ﷺ) he said: The Prophet,رضPPPPPPPPPPPPPی الPPPPPPPPPPPPPلہ عPPPPPPPPPPPPPنہ Narrated Bara was carrying soil on the day of Trench till the dust covered his abdomen or his abdomen was fully covered with dust, and he was saying, "By Allah, without Allah we would not have been guided, neither would we have given in charity, nor would we have prayed. So (O Allah), please send Sakina (i.e. calmness) upon us, and make our feet firm if we meet the enemy as the enemy have rebelled against us, and if they intended affliction, (i.e. want to frighten us and fight against us then we would not flee but withstand them)." The Prophet (ﷺ) used to

19 raise his voice saying, "Abaina! Abaina! (i.e. would not, we would not). Sahabah gave good news of this Du a when offering condolences ع ن ز ي د ب ن أ ر ق م أ ن ه ك ت ب إ لى أ ن س ب ن م ال ك ي ع زيه ف يم ن أ ص يب م ن أ ه ل ه و ب ن ي ع مه ي و م ال ح رة ف ك ت ب إ ل ي ه إ ين أ ب شر ك ب ب شر ى م ن الل ه إ ين س م ع ت ر س ول الل ه ﷺ ق ال الل ه م اغ ف ر ل لا ن ص ار و ل ذ ر ار ي الا ن ص ار و ل ذ ر ار ي ذ ر ار يه م [سنن أيب داود: 3902 ] Zaid bin Arqam wrote to Anas bin Malik, comforting him over those of his family and children of his paternal uncle who suffered on the day of Harrah. So he wrote to him: "I give you glad tidings of good news from Allah. I الPPPل ه م اغPPP ف ر لPPP أل نPPP ص ار ' said: (ﷺ) heard the Messenger of Allah O Allah forgive the Ansar and و ل ذ ر ار ي األ ن ص ار و ل ذ ر ار ي ذ ر ار يه م the children of the Ansar, and the children of their children. - - These were the duas of the Prophe t(s) for the Ansar حديث: ح دث ن ا آد م ح دث ن ا ش ع ب ة ع ن ح م ي د الط و يل س م ع ت أ ن س ب ن م ال ك ر ضي الل ه ع ن ه ق ال ك ان ت الا ن ص ار ي و م ال خ ن د ق ت ق ول ن ح ن ال ذ ين ب اي ع وا م ح مد ا ع لى ال ج ه اد م ا ح ي ين ا أ ب د ا ف ا ج اب ه م الل ه م لا ع ي ش إ لا ع ي ش الا خ ر ه ف ا ك ر م الا ن ص ار و ال م ه اج ر ه Narrated Anas bin Malik: On the day of the battle of the Trench (i.e. Ghazwat-ul-Khandaq) the Ansar used to say, "We are those who have given the pledge of allegiance to Muhammad for Jihad (i.e. holy fighting) as long as we live." The Prophet (ﷺ), replied to them, "O Allah! There

20 is no life except the life of the Hereafter; so please honor the Ansar and the Emigrants. - - Akrim: honour, value - he said baarik, aslih - different duas. So anyone who supports us, cooperates with us in any way in the way of Allah then remember them in your prayers: in front of them also behind them (in their absence). You can never pay them for what they are doing, so their true payment and reward is in the hereafter, so make dua for that. And also here: ask Allah to bless them, pardon them, correct their affairs, make them more righteous, etc. Anyone who cooperates with us in birr, righteousness and piety then make dua for them - Make dua for them in their presence also, because when they know that you are making dua for them this will make them happy: Inna salaataka sakanul lahum: Your prayer is a means of comfort for them حديث: ح دث ن ي م ح مد ب ن ع ب ي د الل ه ح دث ن ا اب ن أ يب ح از م ع ن أ ب يه ع ن س ه ل ق ال ج اء ن ا ر س ول الل ه ص لى الل ه ع ل ي ه و س ل م و ن ح ن ن ح ف ر ال خ ن د ق و ن ن ق ل ال تر اب ع لى أ ك ت اد ن ا ف ق ال ر س ول الل ه ص لى الل ه ع ل ي ه و س ل م الل ه م لا ع ي ش إ لا ع ي ش الا خ ر ه ف اغ ف ر ل ل م ه اج ر ين و الا ن ص ار Narrated Sahl: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to us while we were digging the trench and carrying out the earth on our backs.

21 - - The trenches were deep, so imagine all the mud that is being taken out and it could not pushed aside, but it had to be picked up and carried out. - Mud is heavy, and on top of that they were hungry, exhasuted and it was cold, and the enemy was coming - so why would the Prophet (s) not pray for them? Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) then said, "O Allah! There is no life except the life of the Hereafter, so please forgive the Emigrants and the Ansar." م ح مد بن عبيد الله بن م ح مد بن زيد بن أيب زيد أ ب و ث ابت مولى ع ث ام ن بن ع فان ال قرشي الا م و ي ال م د ين ي Supplications of the Prophet ﷺ for the Ansar The Ansar gave priority to the dua s of the Prophet (s) over dunya - They were more eager for these duas than any worldly benelit ع ن انس ق ال أ ت ت الا ن ص ار ال نب ي ص لى الل ه ع ل ي ه و س ل م ب ج ام ع ت ه م ف ق ال وا إ لى م ت ى ن ن ز ع م ن ه ذ ه الا ب ار ف ل و أ ت ي ن ا ر س ول الل ه ص لى الل ه ع ل ي ه و س ل م ف د ع ا الل ه ل ن ا ف ف جر ل ن ا م ن ه ذ ه ال ج ب ال ع ي ون ا ف ج اء وا ب ج ام ع ت ه م إ لى ال نب ي ص لى الل ه ع ل ي ه و س ل م ف ل ام ر آه م ق ال م ر ح ب ا و أ ه لا ل ق د ج اء ب ك م إ ل ي ن ا ح اج ة ق ال وا إ ي و الل ه ي ا ر س ول الل ه ف ق ال إ ن ك م ل ن ت س ا ل وين ال ي و م ش ي ي ا إ لا أ وت يت م وه و لا أ س ا ل الل ه ش ي ي ا إ لا أ ع ط ان يه ف ا ق ب ل ب ع ض ه م ع لى ب ع ض ف ق ال وا ال دن ي ا ت ر يد ون ف اط ل ب وا الا خ ر ة ف ق ال وا ب ج ام ع ت ه م ي ا ر س ول الل ه اد ع الل ه ل ن ا أ ن ي غ ف ر ل ن ا ف ق ال الل ه م اغ ف ر ل لا ن ص ار و لا ب ن اء الا ن ص ار و لا ب ن اء أ ب ن اء الا ن ص ار ق ال وا ي ا ر س ول الل ه و أ و لا د ن ا م ن غ ري ن ا ق ال و أ و لا د الا ن ص ار ق ال وا ي ا ر س ول الل ه و م و ال ين ا ق ال و م و الي الا ن ص ار [و فی رواية] و ك ن اي ن الا ن ص ار [مسند احمد: ] Anas (r) reported that once the Ansar stood up and said, until when will we continue to draw water out of these wells? Let us go the Prophet (S) and ask him to pray for us that some springs should flow from these mountains.

22 So a group of them came to the Prophet (s) and upon seeing them he (s) said, Welcome! You have come to soft and fertile ground (be at home and feel easy), and it is your home (there is room for everyone), - - Compared to this just welcome is so plain. Ahlan wa sahlan is so much more meaningful! certainly some need of yours has brought you here. They said, By Allah, yes O Allah s Messenger (s). HE (s) said, Whatever you ask me today I will give you, and whatever I ask Allah for you He will certainly give me. Upon this they asked each other, do you wish for dunya? ask for Akhirah instead. - - THey came asking for dunya, but they changed their mind: they asked for akhirah instead So they said, O Messenger of Allah, pray for our forgiveness, He (s) said, O Allah, Forgive the Ansar, the children of the Ansar and the children of their children. So they said, O Messenger of Allah (s), What about our children who are from non relatives? (Meaning, maternal grand children) So the Prophet (s) made dua for them also. Then they mentioned their slaves, so the Prophet (s) prayed for them also. In another narration it is reported that the Ansar also mentioned their daughters in law and sisters in law. - - so eager they were for everyone: Look at their inner quality: caring about everyone. They were not selfsih in any way. We dont like to share or care

23 - Who received the duas of the Prophet (S)? Those who did not live just for themselves. theose who cared about others - they asked for good - for their sisters in law and daughters in law would we? The Prophet (s) made dua for the generations of the Ansar عن أيب بكر بن أنس قال كتب زيد بن أرقم الى أنس بن مالك يعزيه بولده وأهله الذين اصيبوا يوم الحرة فكتب في كتابه واىن مبشرك ببشرى من الله سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول اللهم اغفر للا نصار ولا بناء الا نصار ولا بناء أبناء الا نصار ولنساء الا نصار ولنساء أبناء الا نصار ولنساء أبناء أبناء الا نصار [صحيح ابن حبان: 7281 ] Narrated Abu Bakr bin Anas, he said that Zaid bin Arqam wrote to Anas bin Malik, he expressed his condolence for his children and family members, who were killed at the day of Harra. So he wrote in his letter, I will give you a glad tiding from Allah. I heard Allah s Messenger الPPلهم اغPPفر لPPألنPPصار وألبPPناء األنPPصار وألبPPناء أبPPناء األنPPصار ولPPنساء saying: Allah! O األنPPPPPPPصار ولPPPPPPPنساء أبPPPPPPPناء األنPPPPPPPصار ولPPPPPPPنساء أبPPPPPPPناء أبPPPPPPPناء األنPPPPPPPصار Forgive Ansar, the children of Ansar, the children of Ansar s children, the women of Ansar, the women of the son s of Ansar and the women of forthcoming son s of Ansar. Du a for the servants and neighbours of the Ansar عن معاذ بن رفاعة بن رافع الزرقي عن أبيه قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم اللهم اغفر للا نصار ولذرارى الا نصار ولذرارى ذراريهم ولمواليهم ولجريانهم [صحيح ابن حبان: 7283 ] Narrated Mu`az bin Rifa`ah bin Rafi` Zuraqiyye, he narrates from his father, he said: Allah s Messenger الPPPPPلهم اغPPPPPفر لPPPPPألنPPPPPصار ولPPPPPذرارى األنPPPPPصار ولPPPPPذرارى ذراريPPPPPهم وملPPPPPوالPPPPPيهم said:

24 Ansar, O Allah! Forgive Ansar, off springs of ولPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPجPPيPPرانPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPهPPم generations of Ansar, their freed slaves and their neighbours. The Dua s of the Prophet (s) for the Ansar that affected them The Dua for Anas (r) عن أنس بن قال: كان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يدخل علينا - أهل البيت- فدخل يوما فدعا لنا فقالت أم سليم : خويدمك ألا تدعو له قال: "اللهم! أكرث ماله وولده وأطل حياته واغفر له". فدعا لي بثلاث فدفنت ماي ة وثلاثة وإن مثريت لتطعم في السنة مرتني وطالت حيايت حتى استحييت من الناس وأرجو المغفرة.[صحیح الادب المفرد: 509 ] Anas (r) reported, that the Prophet (s) would come to his family, once he came and made dua for us, so my mother UmmSulaym said, O Messenger of Allah, this is your servant, will you not make dua for him? He (s) said, O Allah increase his wealth, his children, give him a long life and forgive him. So regarding the first three things that the Prophet (s) prayed for me - so I have buried 103 of my children, and my land produces fruit twice a year I have been alive for so long that I am shy of people, and I hope that I will also be forgiven. The Dua for the wife of Julaybib (r) - No one was willing to marry him, but the Prophet (s) had him married to a girl from the Ansar. She married him simply because the Prophet (s) said so. After some time, Julaybib (r) was martyred in a battle, so the Prophet (S) enquired - who have you lost? people mentioned the names of their relatives, etc. but no

25 one mentioned Julaybib- he (s) said, I have lost Julaybib - and when they found his body, there were seven mushirkin killed around him - so he alone killed them. He (s) said, he is from me and I am from him, he (s) carried him and buried him himself. And الل ه م ص ب ع ل ي ه ا ال خ ي ر ص ب ا و ال ت ج ع ل widow: he prayed for his O Allah pour upon her goodness and do not ع ي ش ه ا ك د ا ك د ا make her life diflicult. So this dua was accepted in her favour. There was no girl more sought after than her in the city of MAdina. ق ال ر س ول الل ه ص لى الل ه ع ل ي ه و س ل م ل ر ج ل م ن الا ن ص ار ز وج ن ي اب ن ت ك ف ق ال ن ع م و ك ر ام ة ي ا ر س ول الل ه و ن ع م ع ي ن ي ف ق ال إ ين ل س ت أ ر يد ه ا ل ن ف سي ق ال ف ل م ن ي ا ر س ول الل ه ق ال ل ج ل ي ب يب ق ال ف ق ال ي ا ر س ول الل ه أ ش او ر أ مه ا ف ا ىت أ مه ا ف ق ال ر س ول الل ه ص لى الل ه ع ل ي ه و س ل م ي خ ط ب اب ن ت ك ف ق ال ت ن ع م و ن ع م ة ع ي ين ف ق ال إ ن ه ل ي س ي خ ط ب ه ا ل ن ف س ه إ من ا ي خ ط ب ه ا ل ج ل ي ب يب ف ق ال ت أ ج ل ي ب يب إنيه أ ج ل ي ب يب إنيه أ ج ل ي ب يب إنيه لا ل ع م ر الل ه لا ت ز وج ه ف ل ام أ ر اد أ ن ي ق وم ل ي ا يت ر س ول الل ه ص لى الل ه ع ل ي ه و س ل م ل ي خ بر ه مب ا ق ال ت أ مه ا ق ال ت ال ج ار ي ة م ن خ ط ب ن ي إ ل ي ك م ف ا خ بر ت ه ا أ مه ا ف ق ال ت أ ت ر دون ع لى ر س ول الل ه ص لى الل ه ع ل ي ه و س ل م أ م ر ه اد ف ع وين ف ا ن ه ل م ي ض يع ن ي ف ان ط ل ق أ ب وه ا إ لى ر س ول الل ه ص لى الل ه ع ل ي ه و س ل م ف ا خ بر ه ق ال ش ا ن ك ب ه ا ف ز وج ه ا ج ل ي ب يب ا ق ال ف خ ر ج ر س ول الل ه ص لى الل ه ع ل ي ه و س ل م في غ ز و ة ل ه ق ال ف ل ام أ ف اء الل ه ع ل ي ه ق ال لا ص ح اب ه ه ل ت ف ق د ون م ن أ ح د ق ال وا ن ف ق د ف لا ن ا و ن ف ق د ف لا ن ا ق ال ان ظ ر وا ه ل ت ف ق د ون م ن أ ح د ق ال وا لا ق ال ل ك ني أ ف ق د ج ل ي ب يب ا ق ال ف اط ل ب وه في ال ق ت لى ق ال ف ط ل ب وه ف و ج د وه إ لى ج ن ب س ب ع ة ق د ق ت ل ه م ث م ق ت ل وه ف ق ال وا ي ا ر س ول الل ه ه ا ه و ذ ا إ لى ج ن ب س ب ع ة ق د ق ت ل ه م ث م ق ت ل وه ف ا ت اه ال نب ي ص لى الل ه ع ل ي ه و س ل م ف ق ام ع ل ي ه ف ق ال ق ت ل س ب ع ة و ق ت ل وه ه ذ ا م ني و أ ن ا م ن ه ه ذ ا م ني و أ ن ا م ن ه م رت ني أ و ث لا ث ا ث م و ض ع ه ر س ول الل ه ص لى الل ه ع ل ي ه و س ل م ع لى س اع د ي ه و ح ف ر ل ه م ا ل ه سر ير إ لا س اع د ا ر س ول الل ه ص لى الل ه ع ل ي ه و س ل م ث م و ض ع ه في ق بر ه و ح دث إ س ح اق ب ن ع ب د الل ه ب ن أ يب ط ل ح ة ث اب ت ا ق ال ه ل ت ع ل م م ا د ع ا ل ه ا ر س ول الل ه ص لى الل ه ع ل ي ه و س ل م ق ال الل ه م ص ب ع ل ي ه ا ال خ ري ص ب ا و لا ت ج ع ل ع ي ش ه ا ك د ا ك د ا ق ال ف ام ك ان في الا ن ص ار أ ي م أ ن ف ق م ن ه ا [مسند احمد: ] ب اب ق و ل الل ه } و ي و ث ر ون ع لى أ ن ف س ه م و ل و ك ان ب ه م خ ص اص ة { Chapter: The statement of Allah...

The Prophet (ﷺ) sent a messenger to his wives (to bring something for that man to eat) but they said that they had nothing except water. Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Who will take this (person) or entertain him as a guest?" - - Has it ever happened to us in our lives that we have noting in our homes except for water? What is the level of our gratitude then? An Ansari man said, "I." - He didnt Lirst check at his house if he had any food or not So he took him to his wife and said to her, "Entertain generously the guest of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) " She said, "We have got nothing except the meals of my children." He said, "Prepare your meal, light your lamp and let your children sleep if they ask for supper." So she prepared her meal, lighted her lamp and made her children sleep, and then stood up pretending to mend her lamp, but she put it off. Then both of them pretended to be eating, but they really went to bed hungry.

27 - Children went to bed hungry and they did too In the morning the Ansari went to Allah's Messenger who said, "Tonight Allah laughed or was amazed at (ﷺ) your action." - That they made such a huge sacrilice and did not even mention it. When we do something small even we have to mention it! Then Allah revealed: "But give them (emigrants) preference over themselves even though they were in need of that And whosoever is saved from the covetousness of his soul, Such are they who will be successful." (59.9) - Feeding someone when you are hungry that you are hungry and someone else sitting besdies you is eating, and you are not even letting them know - this is husn akhlaq: excellent character : These are the people who had such big hearts, so they were able to support the deen of Allah. Usually our hearts become very small, we are not willing to give our right to anyone. In a queue? WE would lose our akhlaq in demanding our right - م س دد بن م سر ه د بن م سر ب ل الا س د ي (خ د ت س) 3237 The story of Abu Dahdaah (r) ع ن أ ن س أ ن ر ج لا ق ال ي ا ر س ول الل ه إ ن ل ف لا ن ن خ ل ة و أ ن ا أ ق يم ح اي ط ي ب ه ا ف ا م ر ه أ ن ي ع ط ي ن ي ح تى أ ق يم ح اي ط ي ب ه ا ف ق ال ل ه ال نب ي ص لى الل ه ع ل ي ه و س ل م أ ع ط ه ا إ ي اه ب ن خ ل ة في ال ج نة ف ا ىب ف ا ت اه أ ب و ال دح د اح ف ق ال ب ع ن ي ن خ ل ت ك ب ح اي ط ي ف ف ع ل ف ا ىت ال نب ي ص لى الل ه ع ل ي ه و س ل م ف ق ال ي ا ر س ول الل ه إ ين ق د اب ت ع ت ال نخ ل ة ب ح اي ط ي ق ال ف اج ع ل ه ا ل ه ف ق د أ ع ط ي ت ك ه ا ف ق ال ر س ول الل ه ص لى

The Prophet (s) said to that man, give this place and for you is a place in paradise, but the man refused. So AbuDahdaah (r) found out about this so he went to the man and said sell your land to me, so he did. AbuDahdaah then went to the Prophet (S) and said, I have bought this garden in place of my garden (meaning by selling mine to him) so you can give it to the man. The Prophet (s) said upon hearing this: There are clusters of excellent fruit for AbuDahdaah in Jannah. - - When he found out someone was in need, he gave up his garden to help fullill his.
