Story of Aws and Khazraj

Two Arab tribes resided in Madina-tul-Munawwarah. One was called ‘Aws’, whereas, the other was called ‘Khazraj’. At first, both the tribes lived with great unity, but then fight broke out between both the tribes, as per the nature of the Arabs. To the extent that the last war, that is famous as the 'battle of Bu’aas’, was so terrifying and full of bloodshed that almost all the famous brave warriors of both tribes died fighting each other. Subsequently, both tribes became extremely weak due to their fights and enmity with each other.

After embracing Islam, the old conflicts of Aws and Khazraj came to an end due to the sacred teachings and guidance of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, and both tribes started living with peace and harmony. They helped Islam and Muslims immensely. That is the reason why the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم not only blessed them with the great title of ‘Ansaar’, but he صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم considered having love for them to be the sign of faith.

Sayyiduna Anas رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ narrates that the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: ‘The sign of faith is to love the Ansaar, and the sign of hypocrisy is to have enmity against the Ansaar.’ (Bukhari, vol. 2, pp. 255, Hadees 3784)

Once, few people of Aws and Khazraj were collectively sitting in a tent and talking affectionately to each other. In the meanwhile, a non-Muslim passed by. When he saw that Islam has eradicated conflicts between Aws and Khazraj and has prevailed affection and sincerity among them, he started to burn in the fire of jealousy. He reminded those poems to a non-Muslim
