Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا ثَابِتٌ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَعْطَى أَبَا سُفْيَانَ وَعُيَيْنَةَ وَالْأَقْرَعَ وَسُهَيْلَ بْنَ عَمَرٍو فِي الْآخِرِينَ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ فَقَالَتْ الْأَنْصَارُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ سُيُوفُنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ وَهُمْ يَذْهَبُونَ بِالْمَغْنَمِ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَجَمَعَهُمْ فِي قُبَّةٍ لَهُ حَتَّى فَاضَتْ فَقَالَ أَفِيكُمْ أَحَدٌ مِنْ غَيْرِكُمْ قَالُوا لَا إِلَّا ابْنُ أُخْتِنَا قَالَ ابْنُ أُخْتِ الْقَوْمِ مِنْهُمْ ثُمّ
َ قَالَ أَقُلْتُمْ كَذَا وَكَذَا قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ أَنْتُمْ الشِّعَارُ وَالنَّاسُ الدِّثَارُ أَمَا تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ النَّاسُ بِالشَّاةِ وَالْبَعِيرِ وَتَذْهَبُونَ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ إِلَى دِيَارِكُمْ قَالُوا بَلَى قَالَ الْأَنْصَارُ كَرِشِي وَعَيْبَتِي لَوْ سَلَكَ النَّاسُ وَادِيًا وَسَلَكَتْ الْأَنْصَارُ شِعْبًا لَسَلَكْتُ شِعْبَهُمْ وَلَوْلَا الْهِجْرَةُ لَكُنْتُ امْرَأً مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ وَقَالَ حَمَّادٌ أَعْطَى مِائَةً مِنْ الْإِبِلِ يُسَمِّي كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ هَؤُلَاءِ

English Translation
'Affan narrated to us, Hammad ibn Salamah narrated to us, Thabit informed us, from Anas ibn Malik (رضي الله عنه) that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave to Abu Sufyan, 'Uyaynah, al-Aqra', and Suhayl ibn 'Amr, among others. The Ansar said: 'He gives to the people of Najd and leaves us, while our swords are still dripping with their blood.' the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gathered them and said: 'Are you angry about a trifle of worldly goods by which I attract a people so they might become Muslim, while I entrust you to your Islam? Are you not pleased that the people go with sheep and camels while you return to your homes with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ? By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, were it not for the Hijrah, I would have been a man of the Ansar. If the people went through a valley and the Ansar through a mountain pass, I would take the mountain pass of the Ansar.' They wept until their beards were soaked and said: 'We are pleased with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as our portion and share.'
