Arabic Text
قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ وَهُوَ أَحَدُ الثَّلَاثَةِ الَّذِينَ تِيبَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَنَّهُ أَ
خْبَرَهُ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَرَجَ يَوْمًا عَاصِبًا رَأْسَهُ فَقَالَ فِي خُطْبَتِهِ أَمَّا بَعْدُ يَا مَعْشَرَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ فَإِنَّكُمْ قَدْ أَصْبَحْتُمْ تَزِيدُونَ وَأَصْبَحَتْ الْأَنْصَارُ لَا تَزِيدُ عَلَى هَيْئَتِهَا الَّتِي هِيَ عَلَيْهَا الْيَوْمَ وَإِنَّ الْأَنْصَارَ عَيْبَتِي الَّتِي أَوَيْتُ إِلَيْهَا فَأَكْرِمُوا كَرِيمَهُمْ وَتَجَاوَزُوا عَنْ مُسِيئِهِمْ

Abū al-Yamān narrated to us: Shuʿayb informed us, from al-Zuhrī: ʿAbdullāh ibn Kaʿb ibn Mālik al-Anṣārī — who was one of the three whose repentance was accepted — informed me that some of the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ informed him that the Prophet ﷺ came out one day with his head bandaged and said in his sermon: 'As for what follows, O community of Muhājirūn, you have grown in number, while the Anṣār remain as they are today. The Anṣār are my inner circle to whom I have turned for protection. So honor their noble ones and overlook the faults of their wrongdoers.'
