Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: Some of the Ansar said when Allah granted 1 His Messenger (ﷺ) the spoils of Hawazin, he began giving certain Quraysh men a hundred camels. They said: “May Allah forgive the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), he gives to Quraysh and leaves us, while our swords drip with their blood.” When their words reached the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), he sent for the Ansar and gathered them in a tent of leather, inviting no one else. When they assembled, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came and said: “What is this talk I have heard about you?” Their learned ones said: “As for those with sound opinions, O Messenger of Allah, they said nothing. But some younger ones among us said: ‘May Allah forgive the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), he gives to Quraysh and leaves the Ansar, while our swords drip with their blood.’” The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “I give to men who are newly out of disbelief to win them over. Are you not pleased that people take wealth while you return to your homes with the Messenger of Allah?” They said: “Yes, O Messenger of Allah, we are pleased.”
