Anas Bin Malik reported that when on the Day of Hunain Allah conferred upon His Apostle ﷺ the riches of Hawazin without armed encounter ; the Messenger of Allah ﷺ set about distributing to some persons of Quraish one hundred camels Upon this they the young people from the Ansar said: May Allah grant pardon to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he bestowed these camels upon the people of Quraish; and he ignored us; whereas our swords are still dripping blood. Anas Bin Malik said: Their statement was conveyed to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he sent someone to the Ansar and gathered them under a tent of leather. When they had assembled; the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to them and said: What is this news that has reached me from you? The wise people of the Ansar said: Messenger of Allah; so far as the sagacious amongst us are concerned they have said nothing; but we have amongst us persons of immature age; they said: May Allah grant pardon to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he gave to the Quraish and ignored us despite the fact that our swords are besmeared with their blood. Upon this the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: I give at times material gifts to persons who were quite recently in the state of unbelief; so that I may incline them to truth Dont you feel delighted that people should go with riches; and you should go back to your places with the Messenger of Allah? By Allah; that with which you would return is better than that with which they would return. They said: Yes; Messenger of Allah; we are pleased. The Prophet said too: You would find marked preference in conferring of the material gifts in future; so you should show patience till you meet Allah and His Messenger and I would he at the Haud Kauthar. They said: We would show patience.
