And [also for] those who were settled in al-Madinah and [adopted] the faith before them. They love those who emigrated to them and find not any want in their breasts of what the emigrants were given but give [them] preference over themselves, even though they are in privation. And whoever is protected from the stinginess of his soul - it is those who will be the successful.
Tafsir
Scholars offer complementary perspectives
And those who had settled in the hometown that is Medina and had abided in faith that is to say those who had embraced it with enthusiasm — these being the Helpers before them love those who have emigrated to them and do not find in their breasts any need any envy of that which those others have been given that is to say of what the Prophet s had given the Emigrants from the seized possessions of the Banū al-Nadīr a share which was exclusively theirs; but prefer others to themselves though they be in poverty in need of that which they prefer for those others to have. And whoever is saved from the avarice of his own soul its covetousness for acquiring possessions those — they are the successful.

"When the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) arrived in Al-Madinah the Muhajirun came to him and said: 'O Messenger of Allah! We have not seen a people more willing to sacrifice when having a lot, nor more patient when having a little than the people whom we are staying among. Our provisions are so sufficient, and we share with them in their produce such that we fear that all our reward is gone. So the Prophet (s.a.w) said: "No. As long as you supplicate to Allah for them and praise (show gratitude to) them(for it)."
“in
Al-Madinah there are men who, every time you crossed a valley or
travelled a road, they shared with you in the reward. They were kept
behind by (legitimate) excuses.”
A man came to the Prophet. The Prophet (ﷺ) sent a messenger to his wives (to bring something for that
man to eat) but they said that they had nothing except water. Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Who will
take this (person) or entertain him as a guest?" An Ansar man said, "I." So he took him to his wife and
said to her, "Entertain generously the guest of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) " She said, "We have got nothing except
the meals of my children." He said, "Prepare your meal, light your lamp and let your children sleep if
they ask for supper." So she prepared her meal, lighted her lamp and made her children sleep, and then
stood up pretending to mend her lamp, but she put it off. Then both of them pretended to be eating,
but they really went to bed hungry. In the morning the Ansari went to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) who said,
"Tonight Allah laughed or wondered at your action." Then Allah revealed:
"But give them (emigrants) preference over themselves even though they were in need of that And
whosoever is saved from the covetousness Such are they who will be successful." (59.9)
I recommend that my successor should take care of and secure the rights of the early emigrants; and I
also advise my successor to be kind to the Ansar who had homes (in Medina) and had adopted the
Faith, before the Prophet (ﷺ) migrated to them, and to accept the good from their good ones and excuse
their wrong doers.
Referring to the verse: "Those who believed and adopted exile... As to those who believed but came not into exile": A bedouin (who did not migrate to Medina) did not inherit from an emigrant, and an emigrant did no inherit from him. It was abrogated by the verse: "But kindred by blood have prior rights against each other."

Has there not reached them the news of those before them - the people of Noah and [the tribes of] 'Aad and Thamud and the people of Abraham and the companions of Madyan and the towns overturned? Their messengers came to them with clear proofs. And Allah would never have wronged them, but they were wronging themselves.

So those are their houses, desolate because of the wrong they had done. Indeed in that is a sign for people who know.
