The Virtue of the Ansar
Sunan Ibn Majah
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَعَمْرُو بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " مَنْ أَحَبَّ الأَنْصَارَ أَحَبَّهُ اللَّهُ وَمَنْ أَبْغَضَ الأَنْصَارَ أَبْغَضَهُ اللَّهُ " . قَالَ شُعْبَةُ قُلْتُ لِعَدِيٍّ أَسَمِعْتَهُ مِنَ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ قَالَ إِيَّاىَ حَدَّثَ .
It was narrated that Bara' bin 'Azib said: "The Messenger of Allah said: 'Whoever loves the Ansar, Allah will love him, and whoever hates the Ansar, Allah will hate him.' " (One of the narrators) Shu'bah said: "I said to 'Adi: 'Did you hear that from Bara' bin 'Azib?' He said: 'It was to me that he narrated it.'"
