Abu Ayyub al-Ansari.

When Allah granted might to Islam and its supporters grew in number,
1:00
we said to one another,
1:02
"Our wealth has been lost,
1:05
and Allah has granted might to Islam and its supporters have grown in number,
1:10
so if we were to stay with our wealth,
1:12
we could restore what has been lost of it."
1:16
The Ansar felt,
1:18
after years of bitter fighting,
1:21
the wounds of Uhud, the pains of the Confederates (al-Ahzab),
1:25
and the hardship of the Army of Difficulty (Jaysh al-'Usra),
1:28
that the time had come to turn their attention to their orchards,
1:32
which had lost their luster
1:35
while their owners were occupied with jihad in the cause of Allah.
1:40
They had suffered greatly from Uhud to the Trench,
1:45
to the Jews, to Khaybar,
1:47
to Makkah, to Ta'if, and to Tabuk.
1:52
That desire of the Ansar
1:54
was like the desire of a man who has finished his years of service at work
2:00
and wishes to return to the pastures and dwellings of his early life
2:05
to spend the remainder of his days there.
2:10
The Ansar were dreaming of restoring life to their gardens,
2:16
which supporting the religion had kept them away from.
2:19
The Ansar were dreaming of a peaceful life
2:23
after they had dedicated all their energies to the service of the religion.
2:29
The Ansar were dreaming of returning
2:32
after they had offered their most precious men throughout that long series of events.
2:39
But Allah addressed them.
2:42
“Spend your wealth for the cause of Allah, and be not cast by your own hands to ruin; and do good. Lo! Allah loveth the beneficent.” (2:195)
2:47
Do not be preoccupied.
2:49
Your reward is guaranteed and your recompense is secure,
2:53
and Allah will compensate you.
2:57
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, spoke the truth.
3:01
The sign of faith.
3:03
The love of the Ansar.
