The statement that "Muslim settlers and natives have more rights than newcomers": Is there any evidence in the Shari'ah to support this, and what is the ruling on one who acts on it?

The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah reward you, are there any proofs in the Islamic Shari'ah that support the claim of those who say that Muslims who live in a certain place, being the original settlers and inhabitants there, should be given more rights than Muslim newcomers? Are there any proofs for this, and what is the ruling on one who does this?

The Shaykh : There is only the hadith of Mu'adh ibn Jabal He started with their poor, meaning the poor of the town, because they are more deserving than others due to being neighbors and because their hearts are attached to the wealth of the rich among them. This is what I know in this matter. We start with the foreigners who are not from the town. Please proceed.
