Why was the mention of the abode (ad-Dar) given precedence over faith (al-Iman) in His (the Most High) saying: "And those who made their abode in the city and in faith before them," and does that differ from His saying: "And those who made their abode in faith and in the city before them"? And does the verse not refer to the well-known Ansar and Muhajirun? And is there a difference between "for the poor Muhajirun" and "for the Muhajirun, the poor"?

The noble verse: "And those who made their abode in the city and in faith before them" contains a linguistic issue noted by scholars, namely that faith cannot be "made an abode in" (lit. "settled in"). Therefore, a suppressed verb is understood, estimated to be: "and they purified their faith," or the term "tabawwu'" (making abode) was used to signify adhering to faith and being firmly established in it. And His saying: "before them" does not indicate that the Ansar believed before the Muhajireen, but rather that their faith existed before the Muhajireen came to them. As for presenting the description of poverty before the description of migration, it is because it is the characteristic by which they deserved to receive the spoils of war.
