Brotherhood between the Muhajirin and the Ansar
:
The Messenger of Allah established brotherhood between the Muhajirin and the Ansar, and they were put under an obligation to assist one another. The Ansar were so eager to form a brotherhood that they had to draw lots to allocate their shares. The Ansar gave the
Muhajirin authority over their homes, their furniture, their land and their animals and preferred them over themselves in every way.
An Ansari would say to a Muhajir, 'Have whichever half of my property you want to take,' and the Muhajir would say, 'May Allah bless you in your family and property! Show me the market.' From the Ansar there was great benevolence as they demonstrated their generosity to their Muslim brothers while the
Muhajirin retained their self-respect.
