When the Prophet (ﷺ) distribute the war booty of Hunain, a man from the Ansar said, "He (i.e. the
Prophet), did not intend to please Allah in this distribution." So I came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and informed
him of that (statement) whereupon the color of his face changed and he said, "May Allah bestow His
Mercy on Moses, for he was troubled with more than this, but he remained patient."

The Prophet (ﷺ) gathered some people of Ansar and said, "The People of Quraish are still close to their
Pre-lslamic period of ignorance and have suffered a lot, and I want to help them and attract their
hearts (by giving them the war booty). Won't you be pleased that the people take the worldly things)
and you take Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) with you to your homes?" They said, "Yes, (i.e. we are pleased with this
distribution)." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "'If the people took their way through a valley and the Ansar took
their way through a mountain pass, then I would take the Ansar's valley or the Ansar's mountain pass."
