The Distribution at Ji'rana and the Ansar

Shaykh Yasir Qadhi explains:

The camp-spoils were the ruler's to dispose of, and the Prophet ﷺ gave staggering gifts, a hundred camels at a time, a fortune, to the muʾallafat al-qulūb, "those whose hearts are reconciled": Abū Sufyān, Ṣafwān (still in his grace-period), Muʿāwiyah, Mālik ibn ʿAwf, chiefs of Tamīm, dozens of Qurayshī dignitaries. It was now that Ṣafwān believed, "he gave and gave until he was the most beloved of men to me," for no one who was not a prophet could pass such wealth from his hands and keep not a penny. Ḥakīm ibn Ḥizām asked, and was given, three times; at the fourth the Prophet ﷺ said, "This wealth is sweet and green: whoever takes it with an open heart is blessed in it; whoever takes it with a greedy soul is like one who eats and is never full." Ḥakīm never again asked anyone for anything.

❧The Anṣār's Grievance

The Anṣār received nothing of this great share, and their younger men murmured: "He gives to Quraysh while our swords still drip with their blood." Their chief Saʿd ibn ʿUbādah told the Prophet ﷺ there was a sentiment to address, admitting, when asked, "I am one of my people." He gathered the Anṣār alone and gave one of his greatest sermons: "Had all mankind taken one valley and the Anṣār another, I would take the valley of the Anṣār... were it not for the Hijrah I would be one of them. I give men new to Islam to settle their hearts, and leave you to the faith Allāh has settled in yours." Then: "Are you not content that men go home with sheep and camels, and you go home with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ?" They wept until their beards were wet: "We are content with Allāh's Messenger as our share." To love the Anṣār is of faith, and to hate them a mark of hypocrisy.
