*300 MIRACLES OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD ﷺ*
Number 200.
*He created a brotherhood between the Muhajirun and the Ansar which was so deep that it broke all worldly or egotistical barriers.*
• This brotherhood was so deep, sincere, and strong that the Ansar (known as the Helpers,
they were the original residents of Madinah) shared everything with the Muhajirun (known as the Emigrants, those who had migrated to Madinah for the sake of Islam). This lasted for some time. However, when the Muhajirun had become accustomed to their new environment, one day they asked the Messenger of Allah: "O Messenger of Allah, we emigrated here purely for the sake of Allah. But our Muhajirun brothers are so good to us that we fear we will consume in this world the reward of our good deeds, which we expect to get in the Hereafter. Also, we feel extremely indebted to them. Please ask them to allow us to earn our own living."
The Messenger of Allah sent for the Ansar of Madinah, and told them of the situation. The Ansar unanimously objected, finding it unbearable to be separated from their brothers. In the end, to spare the Muhajirun‟s feeling of indebtedness, the Ansar agreed that the Muhajirun would work in their fields and gardens in return for wages until they could build their own houses. [Bukhari; Muslim]
