“The Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, gathered some people from the Ansaar and said: ‘Quraysh have newly abandoned the pre-Islamic state [and have accepted Islam], and have recently gone through an affliction [having family members of theirs killed, and their lands conquered] so I wanted to be good to and assist them, and to earn their loyalty and trust, and in turn unite with them.’”
