حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَی بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا مَهْدِيُّ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ حَدَّثَنَا غَيْلَانُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَنَسٍ أَرَأَيْتَ اسْمَ الْأَنْصَارِ کُنْتُمْ تُسَمَّوْنَ بِهِ أَمْ سَمَّاکُمْ اللَّهُ قَالَ بَلْ سَمَّانَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ کُنَّا نَدْخُلُ عَلَی أَنَسٍ فَيُحَدِّثُنَا بِمَنَاقِبِ الْأَنْصَارِ وَمَشَاهِدِهِمْ وَيُقْبِلُ عَلَيَّ أَوْ عَلَی رَجُلٍ مِنْ الْأَزْدِ فَيَقُولُ فَعَلَ قَوْمُکَ يَوْمَ کَذَا وَکَذَا کَذَا وَکَذَا
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 3777
Narrated `Aisha: The day of Bu'ath (i.e. Day of fighting between the two tribes of the Ansar, the Aus and Khazraj) was brought about by Allah for the good of His Apostle so that when Allah's Apostle reached (Medina), the tribes of Medina had already divided and their chiefs had been killed and wounded. So Allah had brought about the battle for the good of H is Apostle in order that they (i.e. the Ansar) might embrace Islam.
