The Prophet ﷺ said, "The best of the Ansar families (homes) are the families (homes) of Banu An- Najjar, and then that of Banu ʿAbdul Ash-hal, and then that of Banu Al-Harith, and then that of Banu Saida; and there is good in all the families (homes) of the Ansar." Saʿd bin 'Ubada followed us and said, "O Abu Usaid ! Don't you see that the Prophet ﷺ compared the Ansar and made us the last of them in superiority? Then Saʿd met the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! In comparing the Ansar's families (homes) as to the degree of superiority, you have made us the last of them." Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "Isn't it sufficient that you are regarded amongst the best?"
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ خَيْرَ دُورِ الأَنْصَارِ دَارُ بَنِي النَّجَّارِ ثُمَّ عَبْدِ الأَشْهَلِ ثُمَّ دَارُ بَنِي الْحَارِثِ ثُمَّ بَنِي سَاعِدَةَ وَفِي كُلِّ دُورِ الأَنْصَارِ خَيْرٌ فَلَحِقْنَا سَعْدَ بْنَ عُبَادَةَ فَقَالَ أَبَا أُسَيْدٍ أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَيَّرَ الأَنْصَارَ فَجَعَلَنَا أَخِيرًا فَأَدْرَكَ سَعْدٌ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ خُيِّرَ دُورُ الأَنْصَارِ فَجُعِلْنَا آخِرًا فَقَالَ أَوَلَيْسَ بِحَسْبِكُمْ أَنْ تَكُونُوا مِنَ الْخِيَارِ
