Chapter Nine 213 None of the senior Anṣār have said anything of what has been reported. A few unwise youth uttered these words. 1 Muḥammad sa said to them: O Anṣār! Is it not true that you were misguided before this time and Allah the Exalted bestowed upon you the wealth of faith through me? The Anṣār said: Certainly, it is a great favour of Allah and His Messenger upon us. 2 Muḥammad sa said: You were enemies to each other, and you became united through me. The Anṣār replied: Certainly, it is true and a great favour of Muḥammad sa upon us. Then Muḥammad sa said: You were destitute, and Allah the Exalted made you rich through me. The Anṣār said: No doubt, this is a great favour of Allah and His Messenger upon us. 1 Bukhārī. 2 Bukhārī.
