The occasion of the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying to the Ansar: "Are you not pleased that the people should go away with the sheep and the camels, while you go away with the Messenger of Allah?"

The questioner:
He asks: What is the occasion of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) saying to the Ansar: "Do you not love and that you go away with the Messenger of Allah?"

The Shaykh:
This was when the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) distributed the spoils of Hunayn to those weak in faith and those newly converted to Islam, seeking to win their hearts to Islam. He left the Ansar, and some of them felt resentment or spoke words of reproach. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) convinced them that he was giving to these people to win them over to faith, whereas the Ansar did not need to be won over because they were strong in faith. It was sufficient for them that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) had migrated to them and settled among them.

The questioner:
Yes.

The Shaykh:
And he passed away among them (peace and blessings be upon him), yes.
