Hadith 4680
I recommend that my successor should take care of and secure the rights of the early emigrants; and I
also advise my successor to be kind to the Ansar who had homes (in Medina) and had adopted the
Faith, before the Prophet (ﷺ) migrated to them, and to accept the good from their good ones and excuse
their wrong doers.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 65, Hadith 408

A man came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I am suffering from fatigue and hunger."
The Prophet (ﷺ) sent (somebody) to his wives (to get something), but the messenger found nothing with
them. Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said (to his companions). "Isn't there anybody who can entertain this man
tonight so that Allah may be merciful to him?" An Ansari man got up and said, "I (will, entertain
him), O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!" So he went to his wife and said to her, "This is the guest of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ),
so do not keep anything away from him." She said. "By Allah, I have nothing but the children's food."
He said, "When the children ask for their dinner, put them to bed and put out the light; we shall not
take our meals tonight," She did so. In the morning the Ansari man went to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) who said,
"Allah was pleased with (or He bestowed His Mercy) on so-and-so and his wife (because of their good
deed)." Then Allah revealed:
'But give them preference over themselves even though they were in need of that.' (59.9) Sahih al-Bukhari Book 65, Hadith 409
