The worthiest clans of the Ansar are Banu Najjar, thereafter Banu al-Ashhal; thereafter Banu Harith b. Banu Khazraj; thereafter Banu Sa'idah and there is goodness in all clans of the Ansar. Sa'd said: I see that he (the Holy Prophet) has placed others above us. It was said to (him): He has placed you above many others. (Using translation from Muslim 2511a)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ خَيْرُ دُورِ الْأَنْصَارِ بَنُو النَّجَّارِ ثُمَّ بَنُو عَبْدِ الْأَشْهَلِ ثُمَّ بَنُو الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْخَزْرَجِ ثُمَّ بَنُو سَاعِدَةَ وَفِي كُلِّ دُورِ الْأَنْصَارِ خَيْرٌ فَقَالَ سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ مَا أَرَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَّا قَدْ فَضَّلَ عَلَيْنَا فَقِيلَ قَدْ فَضَّلَكُمْ عَلَى كَثِيرٍ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Shall I not tell you of the best tribe of the Ansar? Banun-Najjar, then Banu ʿAbdul Ashhal, then Banul-Harith bin al-Khazraj. then Banu Saʿidah.ʿ and he said: ʿIn each tribe of the Ansar there is goodness.” (Using translation from Aḥmad 392)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ خَيْرُ الْأَنْصَارِ بَنُو النَّجَّارِ ثُمَّ بَنُو عَبْدِ الْأَشْهَلِ ثُمَّ بَنُو الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْخَزْرَجِ ثُمَّ بَنُو سَاعِدَةَ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَفِي كُلِّ الْأَنْصَارِ خَيْرٌ  

[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ , the best of the Ansar (Helpers) are the Banu Najjar, then the Banu Abd al-Ashhal, then the Banu Harith ibn Khazraj, then the Banu Sa'ida. He then said, "And in every group of the Ansar, there is goodness." Sa'd ibn Ubada said, "Make me the fourth of four and saddle my mule for me." His cousin said, "Do you intend to go back on the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ? It is enough for you to be the fourth of four."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ خَيْرُ دُورِ الْأَنْصَارِ بَنُو النَّجَّارِ ثُمَّ بَنُو عَبْدِ الْأَشْهَلِ ثُمَّ بَنُو الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْخَزْرَجِ ثُمَّ بَنُو سَاعِدَةَ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَفِي كُلِّ دُورِ الْأَنْصَارِ خَيْرٌ فَقَالَ سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ جَعَلَنَا رَابِعَ أَرْبَعَةٍ أَسْرِجُوا لِي حِمَارِي فَقَالَ ابْنُ أَخِيهِ أَتُرِيدُ أَنْ تَرُدَّ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ حَسْبُكَ أَنْ تَكُونَ رَابِعَ أَرْبَعَةٍ  

The Prophet ﷺ said, "The best of the Ansar's families (homes) are those of Banu An-Najjar and then (those of) Banu ʿAbdul Ash-hal, then (those of) Banu Al-Harith bin Al-Khazraj and then (those of) Banu Saʿida; nevertheless, there is good in all the families (houses) of the Ansar." On this, Saʿd (bin Ubada) said, "I see that the Prophet ﷺ has preferred some people to us." Somebody said (to him), "No, but he has given you superiority to many." (Hadith similar to above with a different chain) (Using translation from Bukhārī 3789)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ خَيْرُ الْأَنْصَارِ بَنُو النَّجَّارِ ثُمَّ بَنُو عَبْدِ الْأَشْهَلِ ثُمَّ بَنُو الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْخَزْرَجِ ثُمَّبَنُو سَاعِدَةَ وَفِي كُلِّ الْأَنْصَارِ خَيْرٌ  

[Machine] He heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "The best of residences are those of the Ansar." So, he mentioned the hadith.  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ خَيْرُ دِيَارِ الْأَنْصَارِ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ  

[Machine] From Abu Usaid or Abu Asid ibn Thabit, Sufyan doubted that the Prophet ﷺ said, "Eat olive oil and apply it as an ointment, for it is from a blessed tree."  

عَنْ أَبِي أُسَيْدٍ أَوْ أَبِي أَسِيدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ شَكَّ سُفْيَانُ أَنَّالنَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ كُلُوا الزَّيْتَ وَادَّهِنُوا بِالزَّيْتِ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْ شَجَرَةٍ مُبَارَكَةٍ  

That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Eat olive and use its oil, for indeed it is a blessed tree." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 1851)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ كُلُوا الزَّيْتَ وَادَّهِنُوابِهِ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْ شَجَرَةٍ مُبَارَكَةٍ  

[Machine] Abu Usaid used to say, "I hit on the Day of Badr the sword of Ibn 'Aidh Al-Marzubani. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded the people to give what was in their hands, I approached him until I threw it in the collection bin." He said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not refuse anything that he was asked for." Al-Arqam ibn Abi Al-Arqam recognized it and asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for it, so he gave it to him. He said, "It was read about Ya'qub in the military expeditions of his father, or it was heard from him." Ibn Ishaq said, "Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr narrated to me, he said: Some of Banu Sa'idah narrated to me from Abu Usaid Malik ibn Rabiah, he said: I hit the sword of Bani 'Aidh Al-Marzubani on the Day of Badr. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded the people to give what was in their hands of the collection bin, I approached him until I threw it in the collection bin. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not refuse anything that he was asked for." Al-Arqam ibn Abi Al-Arqam recognized it and asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for it, so he gave it to him.  

أَنَّ أَبَا أُسَيْدٍ كَانَ يَقُولُ أَصَبْتُ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ سَيْفَ ابْنِ عَايذِ الْمَرْزُبَانِ فَلَمَّا أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ النَّاسَ أَنْ يَؤُدُّوا مَا فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ أَقْبَلْتُ بِهِ حَتَّى أَلْقَيْتُهُ فِي النَّفَلِ قَالَ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يَمْنَعُ شَيْئًا يُسْأَلُهُ قَالَ فَعَرَفَهُ الْأَرْقَمُ بْنُ أَبِي الْأَرْقَمِ الْمَخْزُومِيُّ فَسَأَلَهُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ قَالَ قُرِئَ عَلَى يَعْقُوبَ فِي مَغَازِي أَبِيهِ أَوْ سَمَاعٌ قَالَ ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي بَعْضُ بَنِي سَاعِدَةَ عَنْ أَبِي أُسَيْدٍ مَالِكِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ قَالَ أَصَبْتُ سَيْفَ بَنِي عَايذ الْمَخْزُومِيِّينَ الْمَرْزُبَانِ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ فَلَمَّا أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ النَّاسَ أَنْ يُؤَدُّوا مَا فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ مِنَ النَّفَلِ أَقْبَلْتُ بِهِ حَتَّى أَلْقَيْتُهُ فِي النَّفَلِ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يَمْنَعُ شَيْئًا يُسْأَلُهُ فَعَرَفَهُ الْأَرْقَمُ بْنُ أَبِيالْأَرْقَمِ فَسَأَلَهُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ  

"The Messenger of Allah said: 'When anyone of you enters the mosque, let him send peace upon the prophet, then let him say: "Allahummaftah li abwaba rahmatika (O Allah, open to me the gates of Your mercy)." And when he leaves, let him say: "Allahumma inni as'aluka min fadlika. (O Allah, I ask of you from Your bounty)." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 772)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا دَخَلَ أَحَدُكُمُ الْمَسْجِدَ فَلْيَقُلْ اللهُمَّ افْتَحْ لَنَا أَبْوَابَ رَحْمَتِكَ وَإِذَا خَرَجَ فَلْيَقُلْ اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ  

[Machine] "Indeed, the Prophet ﷺ said: When you hear a narration about me, if your hearts recognize it and your hair softens, and you find it close to you, then I am the most knowledgeable about it. However, if you hear a narration about me, and your hearts reject it and your hair stands on end, and you find it far from you, then I am the furthest from it."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا سَمِعْتُمُ الْحَدِيثَ عَنِّي تَعْرِفُهُ قُلُوبُكُمْ وَتَلِينُ لَهُ أَشْعَارُكُمْ وَأَبْشَارُكُمْ وَتَرَوْنَ أَنَّهُ مِنْكُمْ قَرِيبٌ فَأَنَا أَوْلَاكُمْ بِهِ وَإِذَا سَمِعْتُمُ الْحَدِيثَ عَنِّي تُنْكِرُهُ قُلُوبُكُمْ وَتَنْفِرُ أَشْعَارُكُمْ وَأَبْشَارُكُمْ وَتَرَوْنَ أَنَّهُ مِنْكُمْ بَعِيدٌ فَأَنَا أَبْعَدُكُمْ مِنْهُ  

[Machine] On the authority of Abu Usaid, companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , who was present at the Battle of Badr and was their guardian. He said, Abu Usaid said, "While I was sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , a man from the Ansar came to him and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, is there any act of goodness that I can do for my parents after their death to benefit them?' He said, 'Yes, four characteristics: Praying for them, seeking forgiveness for them, fulfilling their promises, and honoring their friends. And maintaining family ties that do not exist except through them. These are the acts of goodness that remain for you to do for them after their death.'"  

عَنْ أَبِي أُسَيْدٍ صَاحِبِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَكَانَ بَدْرِيًّا وَكَانَ مَوْلَاهُمْ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو أُسَيْدٍ بَيْنَمَا أَنَا جَالِسٌ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِذْ جَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَلْ بَقِيَ عَلَيَّ مِنْ بِرِّ أَبَوَيَّ شَيْءٌ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهِمَا أَبَرُّهُمَا بِهِ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ خِصَالٌ أَرْبَعَةٌ الصَّلَاةُ عَلَيْهِمَا وَالِاسْتِغْفَارُ لَهُمَا وَإِنْفَاذُ عَهْدِهِمَا وَإِكْرَامُ صَدِيقِهِمَا وَصِلَةُ الرَّحِمِ الَّتِي لَا رَحِمَ لَكَ إِلَّا مِنْ قِبَلِهِمَا فَهُوَ الَّذِي بَقِيَ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ بِرِّهِمَا بَعْدَ مَوْتِهِمَا  

[Machine] "When we met with the enemy on the day of Badr, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'On that day, when they deceive you, that is, when they try to deceive you, throw them with stones.' And I saw him saying, 'And compete with each other in throwing stones.'"  

لَمَّا الْتَقَيْنَا نَحْنُ وَالْقَوْمُ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَنَا إِذَا كَثَبُوكُمْ يَعْنِي غَشُوكُمْ فَارْمُوهُمْ بِالنَّبْلِ وَأُرَاهُ قَالَ وَاسْتَبْقُوا نَبْلَكُمْ  

[Machine] From his father, they both said that the Prophet ﷺ passed by us along with his companions, so we went out with him until we reached a wall called Ash-Shawt, and we ended up between two walls. We sat between them, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Sit down." He went in, and the Juniyah (a kind of milk with dates) was brought. I secluded myself in the house of Ummaymah bint Al-Nu'man ibn Sharahil, and she had a wet nurse with her. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered upon her, he said, "Give me yourself." She said, "Does a queen give herself to a magician?" She said, "I seek refuge in Allah from you." He said, "You have sought refuge in the One who gives refuge." Then he came out to us and said, "O Abu Usaid, clothe her and reunite her with her family." And besides Abu Ahmad, a woman from the tribe of Al-Jun was called Aminah.  

عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَا مَرَّ بِنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَصْحَابٌ لَهُ فَخَرَجْنَا مَعَهُ حَتَّى انْطَلَقْنَا إِلَى حَائِطٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ الشَّوْطُ حَتَّى انْتَهَيْنَا إِلَى حَائِطَيْنِ مِنْهُمَا فَجَلَسْنَا بَيْنَهُمَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اجْلِسُوا وَدَخَلَ هُوَ وَقَدْ أُتِيَ بِالْجَوْنِيَّةِ فَعَزَلت فِي بَيْتِ أُمَيْمَةَ بِنْتِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ شَرَاحِيلَ وَمَعَهَا دَايَةٌ لَهَا فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ هَبِي لِي نَفْسَكِ قَالَتْ وَهَلْ تَهَبُ الْمَلِكَةُ نَفْسَهَا لِلسُّوقَةِ؟ قَالَتْ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ مِنْكَ قَالَ لَقَدْ عُذْتِ بِمُعَاذٍ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا أُسَيْدٍ اكْسُهَا رَازِقِيَّتَيْنِ وَأَلْحِقْهَا بِأَهْلِهَا قَالَ وَقَالَ غَيْرُ أَبِي أَحْمَدَ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ بَنِي الْجَوْنِ يُقَالُ لَهَا أَمِينَةُ  

[Machine] I heard Sahil saying, "Abu Usaid As-Sa'idi came and invited the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to his wedding. His wife was serving them that day and she was the bride. Sahil asked, 'Do you know what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ drank?' He had soaked dates from the previous night in a container, as a remainder from the conversation of Abdullah bin Unais."  

سَمِعْتُ سَهْلًا يَقُولُ أَتَى أَبُو أُسَيْدٍ السَّاعِدِيُّ فَدَعَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِي عُرْسِهِ فَكَانَتْ امْرَأَتُهُ خَادِمَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَهِيَ الْعَرُوسُ قَالَ تَدْرُونَ مَا سَقَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ؟ أَنْقَعَتْ تَمَرَاتٍ مِنَ اللَّيْلَةِ فِي تَوْرٍ بَقِيَّةُ حَدِيثِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أُنَيْسٍ
