@Hadithoftheday The Ansar were the people of Madinah who welcomed and accepted the Muhajirin.
"Ansar" is an arabic word which means "Helpers".
Ansar were the local people of Madinah who took Muhammad ﷺ & his followers (Muhajirin) into their homes when they migrated from Makkah during Hijrah.

@Hadithoftheday Ansar were the Medinese who aided Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and the Muhajirun (Makkan Muslims who emigrated from makkah to madinah).
The Ansar were members of the two major Medinese tribes,
1.Al-Khazraj and
2. Al-Aws,

@Hadithoftheday Ansar were the people from Madinah who gave material support and the bayah (pledge of allegiance) to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and by the permission of Allah made the hijrah possible.
The event of the Hijrah was a turning point in the history of Islam

@Hadithoftheday Allah was pleased with Ansar and they were pleased with Allah and Allah has prepared Jannah as their eternal dwelling.

@Hadithoftheday Allah says in Qur'an:

"And the first forerunners [in the faith] among the Muhajireen and the Ansar and those who followed them with good conduct - Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Him, and He has prepared for them gardens beneath which rivers flow (9:100)

@Hadithoftheday Prophet Muhammad ﷺ had a deep respect for Ansar, and expressed his feelings by saying, "You are from the people I love most.".
The well-known companions from Ansar were :
Abu Ayyub al-Ansari, Anas ibn Malik, Ka'b ibn Malik, Sa'd ibn Muadh, etc

@Hadithoftheday The Ansars of Medina showed the best example of self-denial and heroic sacrifice. Allah praised their unique sincerity, hospitability, gratitude, generosity, and self-sacrifice which they showed to their immigrant brothers.

@Hadithoftheday The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, "Love for the Ansar is a sign of faith and hatred for the Ansar is a sign of hypocrisy.” [Bukhari & Muslim]

@Hadithoftheday The Prophet ﷺ, said, “None loves the Ansar but a believer, and none hates them but a hypocrite. Whoever loves them, Allah will love him. Whoever hates them, Allah will hate him.”
- (Bukhari and Muslim)

@Hadithoftheday The Ansar tried to outdo each other in making the Muhajireen comfortable in Madinah and put themselves and their possessions at the service of the newcomers.

@Hadithoftheday Ansar were the ‘Helpers’, the country folk of Yathrib, many of whom accepted the Prophet of Allah ﷺ while not having yet seen him. They were the magnanimous hosts of the Prophet ﷺ and the Muhajireen (Emigrants).

@Hadithoftheday Ansar didn't gave just portions of their annual income, but swathes of farm land—sources of income—to their new brothers and sisters. They gave away the shirts on their backs,& displayed the genuine love that comes with true hospitality
Allah is pleased with Ansar (Quran 9:100)
