Translation

Zayd ibn Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: ''O Allah, forgive the Ansār, the offspring of the Ansār, and the offspring of the offspring of the Ansār.''

In this Hadīth, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) invoked divine forgiveness on the Ansār, their children, and their grandchildren. This indicates an evident virtue of the Ansār and their progeny after them.
