Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا شَدَّادٌ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ أَتَتْ الْأَنْصَارُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِجَمَاعَتِهِمْ فَقَالُوا إِلَى مَتَى نَنْزَعُ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْآبَارِ فَلَوْ أَتَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَدَعَا اللَّهَ لَنَا فَفَجَّرَ لَنَا مِنْ هَذِهِ الْجِبَالِ عُيُونًا فَجَاءُوا بِجَمَاعَتِهِمْ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَمَّا رَآهُمْ قَالَ مَرْحَبًا وَأَهْلًا لَقَدْ جَاءَ بِكُمْ إِلَيْنَا حَاجَةٌ قَالُوا إِي وَاللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ إِنَّكُمْ لَنْ تَسْأَلُونِي الْيَوْمَ شَيْئًا إِلَّا أُوتِيتُمُوهُ وَلَا أَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ شَيْئًا إِلَّا أَعْطَانِيهِ فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ فَقَالُوا الدُّنْيَا تُرِيدُونَ فَاطْلُبُوا الْآخِرَةَ فَقَالُوا بِجَمَاعَتِهِمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ادْعُ اللَّهَ لَنَا أَنْ يَغْفِرَ لَنَا فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِلْأَنْصَارِ وَلِأَبْنَاءِ الْأَنْصَارِ وَلِأَبْنَاءِ أَبْنَاءِ الْأَنْصَارِ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَأَوْلَادِنَا مِنْ غَيْرِنَا قَالَ وَأَوْلَادِ الْأَنْصَارِ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَوَالِينَا قَالَ وَمَوَالِي الْأَنْصَارِ قَالَ وَحَدَّثَتْنِي أُمِّي عَنْ أُمِّ الْحَكَمِ بِنْتِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ صُهْبَانَ أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ أَنَسًا يَقُولُ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِثْلَ هَذَا غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ زَادَ فِيهِ وَكَنَائِنِ الْأَنْصَارِ.
English Translation
Abu Sa'id told us: Shaddad Abu Talha told us: Ubaydullah ibn Abi Bakr told us, from his father, from his grandfather, who said: The Ansar came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, as a group and said: How long shall we draw water from these wells? If only we went to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and he supplicated Allah for us, that He might cause springs to burst forth for us from these mountains. So they came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, as a group, and when he saw them he said: Welcome, and greetings - some need must have brought you to us. They said: Indeed, by Allah, O Messenger of Allah. He said: You will not ask me for anything today but that you will be given it, and I do not ask Allah for anything but that He gives it to me. So some of them turned to others and said: You want this world - seek the Hereafter instead. So they said, as a group: O Messenger of Allah, ask Allah to forgive us. He said: O Allah, forgive the Ansar, and the children of the Ansar, and the children of the children of the Ansar. They said: O Messenger of Allah, and our children from other than us? He said: And the children of the Ansar. They said: O Messenger of Allah, and our freed servants? He said: And the freed servants of the Ansar. He said: And my mother narrated to me, from Umm al-Hakam bint al-Nu'man ibn Suhban, that she heard Anas narrate the like of this from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, except that he added in it: and the wives of the sons of the Ansar.
