Question:
Finally, he says: What is the occasion for the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) to the AnsarSahih Muslim 75?
Answer:
Yes, the Ansar (may Allah be pleased with them) have a great virtue, after the virtue of the Muhajireen, due to what they did in supporting the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and sheltering their Muslim brothers,Sunan al-Bayhaqi 10:433 even if they were in need, and whoever guards himself against the stinginess of his own soul, it is they who are the successful.
This verse is about the Ansar. May Allah be pleased with them and grant them satisfaction. No one loves them except a believer. Because loving them, if one loves them for their virtue, their status, and the Messenger’s (peace and blessings be upon him) bequest regarding them, is a sign of faith. And if one hates them, that is a sign of hypocrisy. Because the hypocrites are those who hate the Companions, especially the Ansar (may Allah be pleased with them). Yes.
Finally, he says: What is the occasion for the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) to the Ansar
