[2440] 134 – ( … ) Anas bin Mâlik said: "When Makkah was conquered, the spoils were divided among the Quraish. The Ansâr said: 'This is strange; our swords are still dripping with their blood and our spoils have been given to them!' News of that reached the Messenger of Allah , so he gathered them together and said: 'What is this that I have heard about you?' They said: 'It is what you have heard;' and they would not tell lies. He said: 'Does it not please you that the people are going back to their houses with worldly gains, while you are going back to your houses with the Messenger of Allah? If the people were to follow a valley or mountain pass, and the Ansâr were to follow a valley or mountain pass, I would follow the valley or mountain pass of the Anâr."
