Narrated Anas Bin Malik:When Allah gave Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) what he gave of the properties of the Hawazin tribe as a war booty, the Prophet (ﷺ) started giving some men 100 camels each. The Ansar (then) said, "May Allah forgive Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)s as he gives to Quraish and leaves us although our swords are still dribbling with the blood of Quraish." Allah Apostle was informed of their statement, so he sent for the Ansar and gathered them in a leather tent, and did not call anybody else along with them. When they al I gathered, the Prophet (ﷺ) got up and said, "What is this talk being informed to me about you?" The learned men amongst the Ansar said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Our chiefs did not say anything, but some people amongst us who are younger in age said. 'May Allah forgive Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as he gives (of the booty) to Quraish and leaves us though our swords are still dribbling with their blood." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I give to these men who have newly deserted heathenism (and embraced Islam) so as to attract their hearts. Won't you be happy that the people take the wealth while you take the Prophet (ﷺ) with you to your homes? By Allah, what you are taking is better than whatever they are taking." They (i.e. the Ansar) said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! We are satisfied." The Prophet (ﷺ) then said to them. "You will find others favored over you greatly, so be patient till you meet Allah and His Apostle and I will be at the Tank then." Anas added: But they did not remain patient.

Sahih
It is related from Anas ibn Malik that when Allah gave the booty which He gave to His Messenger, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, from Hawazin, and the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, began to give a hundred camels to some men of Quraysh, some of the Ansar said about the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, "May Allah forgive the Messenger of Allah! He gives to Quraysh and leaves us out even though our swords are dripping with their blood." Anas said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was informed about what they said and so he sent to the Ansar and gathered them together in a hide tent. He did not invite anyone else with them. When they were together, the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, came to them and said, 'What is this talk which I have heard that you said?' The learned of the Ansar said to him, 'Our leaders did not say anything, Messenger of Allah. However, some of the young people among us said, "May Allah forgive the Messenger of Allah! He gives to Quraysh and leaves us out even though our swords are dripping with their blood."' The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'I give to men who were recently unbelievers to reconcile them. Are you not pleased to let people go with property while you return to your homes with the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace? By Allah, You will return with better than what they are returning with.' They said, 'Messenger of Allah, we are pleased!' He said to them, 'You will see great self-interest after me, so be patient until you meet Allah Almighty and His Messenger, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, at the Basin.'" Anas said, "But they were not patient."
