Sahih al-Bukhari 4150 (Book 64, Hadith 366)
with their animals and offspring (and wives) came to fight against the Prophet (ﷺ) The Prophet (ﷺ) had with
him, ten thousand men and some of the Tulaqa. The companions fled, leaving the Prophet (ﷺ) alone. The
Prophet then made two calls which were clearly distinguished from each other. He turned right and
said, “O the group of Ansar!” They said, “Labbaik, O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Rejoice, for we are with you!”
Then he turned left and said, “O the group of Ansar!” They said, “Labbaik! O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)!
Rejoice, for we are with you!” The Prophet (ﷺ) at that time, was riding on a white mule; then he
dismounted and said, “I am Allah’s Slave and His Apostle.” The infidels then were defeated, and on
that day the Prophet (ﷺ) gained a large amount of booty which he distributed amongst the Muhajirin and
the Tulaqa and did not give anything to the Ansar. The Ansar said, “When there is a difficulty, we are
called, but the booty is given to other than us.” The news reached the Prophet (ﷺ) and he gathered them in
a leather tent and said, “What is this news reaching me from you, O the group of Ansar?” They kept
silent, He added,” O the group of Ansar! Won’t you be happy that the people take the worldly things
and you take Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) to your homes reserving him for yourself?” They said, “Yes.” Then the
Prophet said, “If the people took their way through a valley, and the Ansar took their way through a
mountain pass, surely, I would take the Ansar’s mountain pass.” Hisham said, “O Abu Hamza (i.e.
Anas)! Did you witness that? ” He replied, “And how could I be absent from him?”
