English Translation

And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "No man who believes in Allah and the Last Day harbors hatred for the Ansar. Were it not for the Hijrah, I would have been a man of the Ansar. If the Ansar took a valley or a mountain path, I would take their valley or their mountain path. The Ansar are my inner garment and the people are my outer garment."
