Amongst the lessons drawn from the above-mentioned Hadeeth (1):

1- Establishing proof against the opponent and refuting his claims with truth where there is a need for that.

2- The Messenger of Allaah, peace and blessing be upon him, ordered the Ansaar to gather together in one place and did not call anybody else along with them.

7- This Hadeeth implies one of the signs of the Prophethood of the Prophet, peace and blessing be upon him, for his statement: "No doubt, you will see other people favoured over you, and that was actually came true."
