When Allah favored His Apostle with the properties of Hawazin tribe as Fai (booty), he started giving
to some Quarries men even up to one-hundred camels each, whereupon some Ansari men said about
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), "May Allah forgive His Apostle! He is giving to (men of) Quraish and leaves us, in
spite of the fact that our swords are still dropping blood (of the infidels)" When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was
informed of what they had said, he called the Ansar and gathered them in a leather tent and did not
call anybody else along, with them. When they gathered, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to them and said,
"What is the statement which, I have been informed, and that which you have said?" The learned ones
among them replied," O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! The wise ones amongst us did not say anything, but the
youngsters amongst us said, 'May Allah forgive His Apostle; he gives the Quarish and leaves the
Ansar, in spite of the fact that our swords are still dribbling (wet) with the blood of the infidels.' "
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) replied, I give to such people as are still close to the period of Infidelity (i.e. they have
recently embraced Islam and Faith is still weak in their hearts). Won't you be pleased to see people go
with fortune, while you return with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to your houses? By Allah, what you will return
with, is better than what they are returning with." The Ansar replied, "Yes, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), we are
satisfied' Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said to them." You will find after me, others being preferred to you. Then
be patient till you meet Allah and meet His Apostle at Al-Kauthar (i.e. a fount in Paradise)." (Anas
added:) But we did not remain patient.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 57, Hadith 55
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nuaym ibn Abdullah al-
Mujmirthat Muhammad ibn Abdullah ibn Zayd told him that Abu Masud al
Ansari said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, came to us at the gathering of Sad ibn Ubada. Bashir ibn
Sad said to him, 'Allah has ordered us to ask for blessings on you,
Messenger of Allah. How should we do it?' The Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, remained silent until we wished
we had not asked him. Then he told us to say, 'O Allah, bless Muhammad
and the family of Muhammad as You blessed Ibrahim, and give baraka to
Muhammad and the family of Muhammad as You gave baraka to the family
of Ibrahim. In all the worlds You are worthy of Praise and Glorious,'
and then give the taslim as you have learnt."
Allahumma salli
ala Muhammad wa ali Muhammad kama sallaita Ibrahim, wa baraka ala
Muhammad wa ali Muhammad kama baraktaala ali Ibrahim. Fi'l alamin,
innaka Hamidu'm - Majid.
