(5) باب قَوْلُ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم لِلأَنْصَارِ " أَنْتُمْ أَحَبُّ النَّاسِ إِلَىَّ "
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Once an Ansari woman, accompanied by a son of hers, came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) spoke to her and said twice, "By Him in Whose Hand my life is, you are the most beloved people to me."
