Chapter 1 · The Book of the Sunnahحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي فُدَيْكٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمُهَيْمِنِ بْنِ عَبَّاسِ بْنِ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، أَنَّ ّرَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: الْأَنْصَارُ شِعَارٌ، وَالنَّاسُ دِثَارٌ، وَلَوْ أَنَّ النَّاسَ اسْتَقْبَلُوا وَادِيًا، أَوْ شِعْبًا، وَاسْتَقْبَلَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ وَادِيًا لَسَلَكْتُ وَادِيَ الْأَنْصَارِ، وَلَوْلَا الْهِجْرَةُ لَكُنْتُ امْرَءًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ .

The Messenger of Allah said: The Ansar are an inner garment and the people are an outer garment. If the people were to head towards one valley or a narrow mountain pass and the Ansar towards another, I would travel to the valley of the Ansar, and were it not for the Hijrah, I would have been a man from among the Ansar.
