The manner in which the Ansaar fulfilled the right of the pact of brotherhood with the Muhaajireen, and the extent of their sincerity in giving preference to the Muhaajireen over themselves, was such that it is impossible to find any parallel and likeness for it in the annals of history.

When it came to their wealth, lands and assets, then the Ansaar showed generosity to the Muhaajireen by giving them lands and orchards. However, over and above this, such examples of generosity are found among the Ansaar that if a person had two wives, he would say to his Muhaajir brother, “(Choose whichever wife you want from the two.) Whichever wife you wish, I will divorce her, and after the divorce (and iddah period), you may marry her.”
