Surah Al-Hashr (The Mustering)

This Surah was revealed in Madinah, and it has 24 verses and 3 sections

In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Most Merciful

The Merits of the Ansar (The Helpers)

...and give preference (to them) over themselves, even though they are in poverty... 59:9

COMMENTARY: The fourth characteristic of the Ansaar is described in the verse is: (...and give preference (to them) over themselves, even though they are in poverty... 59:9). The word Khasasah means 'poverty' and the word 'Ithar' means 'to prefer the wish, need and desire of others above those of oneself.'

The meaning of the verse is that the Ansaar used to prefer the needs of others (i.e. the Muhajirin,) to their own needs. That is, the former used to fulfil the needs of the latter first, then they would fulfil their own needs, even though they themselves were poor and needy.

One day, a cowboy rode into a Wild, Wild West town. The people in the town love to play jokes on visitors. After tying his horse to the pole outside a bar, the cowboy went in. "A cup of milk please." he said to the bartender. After drinking, he went out, only to find his horse missing. Knowing that the villagers did it, he went back into the bar and said to everybody," I am going to have another drink and when I finish it, I want to see my horse outside! Or else, I will have to do what I did in Texas - HERE!"

The people were very frightened. When he finished his drink, he went outside and saw his horse. The villagers had put it back. Curious, the bartender asked the cowboy,? What did you do in Texas?"
