refers to this in the Koran saying:

"Those who believed and migrated from their homes and fought for the Way of Allah,
and those who sheltered them and helped them they are truly the believers.

Theirs shall be forgiveness and a generous provision."
Koran 8:74

The generosity of the Ansar was widespread and it wasn't long before the Muhajirin had
settled themselves into their new life. The sense of brotherhood created a sincere feeling
for one another and the spirit of selflessness became infused deep within their hearts.
Abu Bakr set up business trading in cloth and Omar took to trading that took him as far
away as Iran, whereas some of the others traded on a lesser scale. However, they
remained poor.

The Suffa

Amongst the Ansar and Muhajirin were those who lived on the raised flooring in the
communal area adjoining the Mosque known as “As-hab al Suffa”.
