سعد بن عبادة
When Muhammad divided the plunder from the Hawazin, he gave rich gifts to the new converts but nothing to the "Ansar" of Medina. They were upset about this and even asked whether Muhammad would now abandon them in favour of the newly-converted Quraysh. Sa'd ibn Ubadah took a formal complaint to Muhammad, stating: "I stand with my people." Muhammad told Sa'd to gather them all together and then he addressed them: "O men of "Ansar", what is this I hear of you? Do you think ill of me in your hearts? Did I not come to you when you were erring and God guided you; poor and God made you rich; enemies and God softened your hearts? Are you disturbed in mind because of the good things of this life by which I win over a people that they may become Muslims while I entrust you to your Islam? Are you not satisfied that men should take away flocks and herds while you take back with you God's Messenger? If all men took one path and the "Ansar" took another, I should take the way of the "Ansar". God have mercy on the "Ansar", their sons and their sons' sons." The "Ansar" wept until the tears ran down their beards as they said: "We are satisfied with God’s Messenger as our lot and portion."
