Narrated Anas Bin Malik:When it was the day (of the battle) of Hunain, the tributes of Hawazin and Ghatafan and others, along with their animals and offspring (and wives) came to fight against the Prophet (ﷺ) The Prophet (ﷺ) had with him, ten thousand men and some of the Tulaqa. The companions fled, leaving the Prophet (ﷺ) alone. The Prophet then made two calls which were clearly distinguished from each other. He turned right and said, "O the group of Ansar!" They said, "Labbaik, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Rejoice, for we are with you!" Then he turned left and said, "O the group of Ansar!" They said, "Labbaik! O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Rejoice, for we are with you!" The Prophet (ﷺ) at that time, was riding on a white mule; then he dismounted and said, "I am Allah's Slave and His Apostle." The infidels then were defeated, and on that day the Prophet (ﷺ) gained a large amount of booty which he distributed amongst the Muhajirin and the Tulaqa and did not give anything to the Ansar. The Ansar said, "When there is a difficulty, we are called, but the booty is given to other than us." The news reached the Prophet (ﷺ) and he gathered them in a leather tent and said, "What is this news reaching me from you, O the group of Ansar?" They kept silent, He added," O the group of Ansar! Won't you be happy that the people take the worldly things and you take Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to your homes reserving him for yourself?" They said, "Yes." Then the Prophet said, "If the people took their way through a valley, and the Ansar took their way through a mountain pass, surely, I would take the Ansar's mountain pass." Hisham said, "O Abu Hamza (i.e. Anas)! Did you witness that? " He replied, "And how could I be absent from him?"

Sahih
It is related that Anas ibn Malik said, "On the Day of Hunayn, Hawazin, Ghatafan and others arrived with their animals and families to fight [the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace], and the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, had ten thousand with him as well as those who became Muslim at the Conquest. They turned back until he alone remained and he made two calls on that day which were distinct. He turned to his right and said, 'O company of Ansar!' They said, 'At your service, Messenger of Allah! Rejoice! We are with you.' Then he turned to his left and said, 'O company of Ansar!' They said, 'At your service, Messenger of Allah! Rejoice! We are with you.' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was on a white mule and he dismounted and said, 'I am the slave of Allah and His Messenger.' Then the idolaters were routed and on that day a lot of booty was taken. He divided it up between the Muhajirun and those had had become Muslim at the Conquest, but did not give the Ansar anything. The Ansar said, 'When there is difficulty, we are summoned and then he gives the booty to someone other than us.' That reached him, so he gathered them together in a tent and said, 'O company of Ansar, what is this report which has reached me about you?' They were silent. He said, 'O company of Ansar, are you content that the people leave with this world and you leave for your homes with the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, keeping him for yourselves?' They said, 'Yes, indeed.' The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'If the people were travel one valley and the Ansar were to travel a ravine, I would take the ravine of the Ansar.'" Hisham said, "O Abu Hamza! Were you present at that?" He said, "And how could I be absent from it?"
