Question:
He has another section with which he concludes this letter, and I truly thank him most sincerely. This questioner, because the questions were concise, says: The Muhajireen and the Ansar (may Allah be pleased with them), which group is closer to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) in love and esteem?
Answer:
I heard the answer to this recently. The Muhajireen are better than the Ansar. Each has a great virtue. But the Muhajireen who left their homelands and their wealth, desiring what is with Allah and emigrating, are better than the Ansar. Yes.
