Sahih al-Bukhari 4146 (Book 64, Hadith 362)
were ten-thousand (men) besides the Tulaqa’ (i.e. those who had embraced Islam on the day of the
Conquest of Mecca) with the Prophet. When they (i.e. Muslims) fled, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “O the group
of Ansari” They replied, “Labbaik, O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and Sadaik! We are under your command.”
Then the Prophet (ﷺ) got down (from his mule) and said, “I am Allah’s Slave and His Apostle.” Then the
pagans were defeated. The Prophet (ﷺ) distributed the war booty amongst the Tulaqa and Muhajirin (i.e.
Emigrants) and did not give anything to the Ansar. So the Ansar spoke (i.e. were dissatisfied) and he
called them and made them enter a leather tent and said, Won’t you be pleased that the people take the
sheep and camels, and you take Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) along with you?” The Prophet (ﷺ) added, “If the people
took their way through a valley and the Ansar took their way through a mountain pass, then I would
choose a mountain pass of the Ansar.”
