Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 27475a
"يَا مَعْشَر الأَنصار: أَلَمْ أَجِدْكُمْ ضُلَّالًا فَهَداكُمُ اللَّه بِى؟ وَكُنْتُمْ مُتَفَرِّقِينَ فَألَّفَكُمُ اللَّه بِى؟ وَكُنْتُمْ عَالةً فَأَغْنَاكُمُ اللَّه بِى؟ أَمَا تَرْضَون أَنْ يَذْهَبَ النَّاسُ بِالشَّاةِ والْبَعِيرِ وَتَذْهَبُونَ بِالنَّبِىِّ إِلَى رِحَالِكُمْ؟ لَوْلَا الهِجْرَةُ لَكُنْتُ امْرأً مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ، وَلَوْ سَلَكَ النَّاسُ وَادِيًا وِشِعْبًا، لَسلَكْتُ وَادِى الأَنْصَارِ وَشِعْبَهَا، الأَنْصَارُ شِعَارٌ وَالنَّاسُ دِثَارٌ، إِنَّكُمْ سَتَلْقَونَ بَعْدِى أَثَرَةً فاصْبِرُوا حَتَّى تَلقَوْنِى عَلَى الْحَوْضِ".

"O assembly of the Ansar! Did I not find you astray and Allah guided you through me? And you were divided and Allah united you through me? And you were poor and Allah made you rich through me? Are you not content that the people go away with sheep and camels while you go away with the Prophet to your dwellings? Were it not for the migration, I would have been a man of the Ansar. If the people walked in a valley or a pass, I would walk in the valley of the Ansar and its pass. The Ansar are the inner garment and the people are the outer garment. Indeed you will encounter after me preference (given to others), so be patient until you meet me at the Pool."
