The Holy Quran 59:9 — Surah Al-Hashr

Arabic text

وَٱلَّذِينَ تَبَوَّءُو ٱلدَّارَ وَٱلْإِيمَـٰنَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ يُحِبُّونَ مَنْ هَاجَرَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَلَا يَجِدُونَ فِى صُدُورِهِمْ حَاجَةً مِّمَّآ أُوتُوا۟ وَيُؤْثِرُونَ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِهِمْ وَلَوْ كَانَ بِهِمْ خَصَاصَةٌ ۚ وَمَن يُوقَ شُحَّ نَفْسِهِۦ فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُفْلِحُونَ

Translation

(Part of this booty is also for) Those (the Ansaar) who adopted the place (Madinah) as their home before them (before the Muhaajireen) and (had adopted) Imaan. They (the Ansaar) love those who migrate to them (the Muhaajireen) and find no want (jealousy or envy) in their hearts for what they (the Muhaajireen) are given. They (the Ansaar) prefer (others) above themselves (they prefer to give to others) even though they are themselves in need (of the things they give). (Like the Ansaar,) Those who are saved (protected) from the miserliness (and greed) of the soul are really the successful ones (who will attain salvation).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The virtues of the Ansar of Madinah: by “this abode” is meant Madinah the Pure. And these people are the Ansar (helpers) of Madinah, who were living in Madinah before the arrival of the Muhajirun (emigrants) and had become very firmly established on the paths of faith and knowledge of Allah.
