Then Allah's Apostle said, Who will take this (person) or entertain him as a guest? An Ansar man said, I. So he took him to his wife and said to her, Entertain generously the guest of Allah's Apostle She said, We have got nothing except the meals of my children. He said, Prepare your meal, light your lamp and let your children sleep if they ask for supper. So she prepared her meal, lighted her lamp and made her children sleep, and then stood up pretending to mend her lamp, but she put it off. Then both of them pretended to be eating, but they really went to bed hungry. In the morning the Ansari went to Allah's Apostle who said, Tonight Allah laughed or wondered at your action. Then Allah revealed: But give them (emigrants) preference over themselves even though they were in need of that And whosoever is saved from the covetousness Such are they who will be successful.

They replied, We are weeping because we remember the gathering of the Prophet with us. So Abu Bakr went to the Prophet and told him of that. The Prophet came out, tying his head with a piece of the hem of a sheet. He ascended the pulpit which he never ascended after that day. He glorified and praised Allah and then said, I request you to take care of the Ansar as they are my near companions to whom I confided my private secrets. They have fulfilled their obligations and rights which were enjoined on them but there remains what is for them. So, accept the good of the good-doers amongst them and excuse the wrongdoers amongst them.

The people will go on increasing, but the Ansar will go on decreasing till they become just like salt in a meal. So whoever amongst you will be the ruler and have the power to harm or benefit others, should accept the good of the good-doers amongst them and excuse the wrongdoers amongst them.
