وقال عليه السلام في مدح الاَنَصار:
Amir al-mu'minin, peace be upon him, said eulogizing the Ansar :
هُمْ وَاللهِ رَبّواالاْسْلاَمَ كَمَا يُرَبَّى الْفَلُوُّخ مَعَ غَنَائِهِمْ بَأَيْدِيهِمُ السِّبَاطِ وَأَلْسِنَتِهِمُ السِّلاَطِ.
By Allah, they nurtured Islam with their generous hands and eloquent tongues as a year old calf is nurtured.
