Kulthum ibn al-Hidm attained the honor of hosting the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, in his home.

Then, the ultimate honor was attained thereafter by Abu Ayyub al-Ansari, may Allah be pleased with him.
0:21
And throughout history, we have continued to repeat the saying:
0:24
"A man is with those he loves."

The mosque was built.
0:29
The rows were aligned.
0:32
And the prayer was established.
0:34
It was a prayer unlike any other.
0:38
It was behind the Beloved himself.
0:42
Behind the leader.
0:44
Behind the magnificent Imam.
0:46
The merciful, the forbearing, the wise.
0:50
O Lord, to You belong all praise, grace, and favor.
0:54
The Messenger of Allah had found security.
0:58
He had found great Ansar.
1:01
After thirteen years.
1:04
It was as if, in that time,
1:06
He and his Companions truly felt the blessing.
1:11
Security after fear.
1:13
And worship without tribulation.
1:17
Indeed, after their isolation, they had found a home.
1:27
It is a unique example of how the Ansar welcomed
1:31
Their brothers, the Muhajirun.
1:34
Ask the history books,
1:36
And they will tell you of Sa'd ibn al-Rabi', may Allah be pleased with him,
1:39
And 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Awf, may Allah be pleased with him.
1:42
And ask people today,
1:44
Of what kind of brotherhood they speak,
1:47
When it is tainted by the slightest slip or the smallest misstep.
1:53
When you walk the streets of Medina,
1:56
You come to know the dwellings where there scattered
2:00
The righteous Muhajirun,
2:02
Among their brothers, the Ansar.
2:05
Ask the homes they inhabited,
2:08
The wells from which they drank,
2:11
The love they breathed in,
2:14
And the gardens in which they labored.
