Strengthening the Ummah

On the day of the Conquest of Mecca, when the Prophet (ﷺ) had given (from the booty) the Quraish, the
Ansar said, "By Allah, this is indeed very strange: While our swords are still dribbling with the blood
of Quraish, our war booty are distributed amongst them." When this news reached the Prophet (ﷺ) he
called the Ansar and said, "What is this news that has reached me from you?" They used not to tell
lies, so they replied, "What has reached you is true." He said, "Doesn't it please you that the people
take the booty to their homes and you take Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to your homes? If the Ansar took their way
through a valley or a mountain pass, I would take the Ansar's valley or a mountain pass."
