چکیده:
The words 'Ansar' and 'Ansari' are among the most frequently used titles mentioned in historical sources, especially in 'Sahaba studies' (biographies of the companions), biographical dictionaries, and hagiographies. The use of this term in early Islamic historical studies recalls the two tribes residing in Yathrib (Aws and Khazraj); those who, through the wise strategies of the Prophet (PBUH), set aside their internal conflicts and achieved unity under the name Ansar. The concept of Ansar became clearer when placed in opposition to the term Muhajirun. The Muhajirun and Ansar were the two main groups of the first Muslims who had a significant impact on the events of the era of the Holy Prophet (PBUH). This research addresses the following questions: From the perspective of historical linguistics, since when was the word Ansar used as a name for a group of people, why did it emerge, and what process did it undergo in its semantic evolution?

<H2>The First Nusrat of the Inhabitants</H2> Based on well-known narrations, despite the issuance of the command for Jihad in the first year after the Hijra, the people of Yathrib did not accept orders from the Prophet (PBUH) regarding going towards the commercial caravans of the Quraysh and attacking them (Waqidi, 1409, vol.
Therefore, this event in the second year of the Hijra can be considered a significant transformation in the relations between the Prophet (PBUH) and the inhabitants of Yathrib, and their action can be referred to by the name "Nusrat" (aid/support).
Therefore, Ansar was a name that emerged during the stage of stabilizing the government, and following the battles of Badr, Uhud, and al-Ahzab between the Quraysh and the Prophet (PBUH), "Nusrat" became the supreme attribute of the inhabitants.
<H2>The Conceptual Framework of Ansar</H2> It is well known that most of the inhabitants of Yathrib belonged to the tribes of Aws and Khazraj, but the Aws and Khazraj themselves had many clans and families whose actions were not subject to the individual decision of their leader; rather, each clan followed its own leader, and the leader's following of the Prophet (PBUH) meant that the clan participated in the process of nusrat (aid/support), while his disobedience indicated the clan's opposition in this regard.
Regarding the number of nusrat provided by the Aws and Khazraj clans and their presence in the battles of the Prophet (PBUH), one can refer to the reports of Waqidi, Ibn Sa'd, and al-Tabari.
