Should I not tell you of the best clans of the Ansar? They said: Messenger of Allah, (kindly) do this. Thereupon Messenger of Allah said: That is Banu Abd al-Ashhal. They said: Messenger of Allah, then next? He said: Banu Najjar. They again said: Messenger of Allah, then next? He said: Then of Banu Harith b. Khazraj. They then said: Messenger of Allah, then next? He said. Then of Banu Sa'ida. They said: Messenger of Allah, then next? He said: There is good in all the clans of the Ansar. It was upon this that Sa'd b. Ubida stood up in annoyance and said: Are we the last of the four as Messenger of Allah ﷺ has determined (the order of precedence) of their clans? He decided to talk with Messenger of Allah ﷺ on this issue, but the people Of his tribe said to him: Be seated, are you not happy with this that Messenger of Allah' ﷺ has mentioned your clan as one of the four (best) clans and those whom he left and did not mention (the order of their precedence) are more than those whom he mentioned? And Sa'd b. 'Ubada dropped the idea of talking to Messenger of Allah ﷺ (on this issue).  

مسلم:٢٥١٢ – وَحَدَّثَنِي عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي عَنْ صَالِحٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ وَعُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ سَمِعَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ فِي مَجْلِسٍ عَظِيمٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ أُحَدِّثُكُمْ بِخَيْرِ دُورِ الأَنْصَارِ قَالُوا نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَنُو عَبْدِ الأَشْهَلِ قَالُوا ثُمَّ مَنْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ثُمَّ بَنُو النَّجَّارِ قَالُوا ثُمَّ مَنْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ثُمَّ بَنُو الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْخَزْرَجِ قَالُوا ثُمَّ مَنْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ثُمَّ بَنُو سَاعِدَةَ قَالُوا ثُمَّ مَنْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ثُمَّ فِي كُلِّ دُورِ الأَنْصَارِ خَيْرٌ فَقَامَ سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ مُغْضَبًا فَقَالَ أَنَحْنُ آخِرُ الأَرْبَعِ حِينَ سَمَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ دَارَهُمْ فَأَرَادَ كَلاَمَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهُ رِجَالٌ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ اجْلِسْ أَلاَ تَرْضَى أَنْ سَمَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ دَارَكُمْ فِي الأَرْبَعِ الدُّورِ الَّتِي سَمَّى فَمَنْ تَرَكَ فَلَمْ يُسَمِّ أَكْثَرُ مِمَّنْ سَمَّى فَانْتَهَى سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ عَنْ كَلاَمِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ

ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الْمُدْحِضِ قَوْلَ مَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّ هَذَا الْخَبَرَ مَا رَوَاهُ إِلَّا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Shall I not tell you about the best of the Ansar's settlements?" They said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "The settlement of the Banu Abdul Ashhal, they are the descendants of Sa'd ibn Mu'adh." They said, "Then who, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Then the descendants of Al-Najjar." They said, "Then who, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Then the descendants of Al-Harith ibn Al-Khazraj." They said, "Then who, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Then the descendants of Sa'idah." They said, "Then who, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "In every settlement of the Ansar, there is good." Sa'd bin Ubada heard this and said, "We mentioned the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when mentioning the last four settlements to be spoken about, so a man said to him, 'Are you not pleased that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned you last?' He swore, 'By Allah, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ left those from the Ansar whom he mentioned more than he left me.' Sa'd then returned (to the gathering)."

[Machine] I heard Abu Huraira, while he was in a great gathering of Muslims, say: Should I not inform you about the best tribe among the Ansar? They replied: Yes, please do. He said: The tribe of Bani Abdul Ashhal. They asked: Then, who, O Messenger of Allah? He said: Then, the tribe of Bani An-Najjar. They asked: Then, who, O Messenger of Allah? He said: Then, the tribe of Bani Al-Harith bin Khazraj. They asked: Then, who, O Messenger of Allah? He said: The Ansar are the best among all the tribes.
