[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "The best of people are the Asad (lion) and the Ash'ariyun (a tribe known for their bravery) in battle. They do not run away nor do they show excessive boldness. They are from me and I am from them." 'Amir then narrated this to Mu'awiyah who said, "It is not as you have said. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'They are from me and to me.' " 'Amir replied, "That is not what my father narrated to me from the Prophet ﷺ . He said, 'They are from me and I am from them.'" Mu'awiyah then said, "In that case, you would know better about the narration of your father." 'Abdullah said, "This is one of the most reliable narrations, as only Jarir has narrated it."
