That he heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "The best of the Ansar, or the best of the Ansar families (homes) are Banu An-Najjar, Bani ʿAbdul Ash-hal, Banu Al-Harith and Banu Sai'da." (Using translation from Bukhārī 3790)
أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «خَيْرُ الْأَنْصَارِ أَوْ خَيْرُ دُورِ الْأَنْصَارِ بَنُو النَّجَّارِ ثُمَّ بَنُو عَبْدِ الْأَشْهَلِ ثُمَّ بَنُو الْحَارِثِ ثُمَّ بَنُو سَاعِدَةَ»
That he heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "The best of the Ansar, or the best of the Ansar families (homes) are Banu An-Najjar, Bani ʿAbdul Ash-hal, Banu Al-Harith and Banu Sai'da."
أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ خَيْرُ الأَنْصَارِ أَوْ قَالَ خَيْرُ دُورِ الأَنْصَارِ بَنُو النَّجَّارِ وَبَنُو عَبْدِ الأَشْهَلِ وَبَنُو الْحَارِثِ وَبَنُو سَاعِدَةَ
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.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَيْرُ دُورِ الأَنْصَارِ بَنُو النَّجَّارِ ثُمَّ بَنُو عَبْدِ الأَشْهَلِ ثُمَّ بَنُو الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْخَزْرَجِ ثُمَّ بَنُو سَاعِدَةَ وَفِي كُلِّ دُورِ الأَنْصَارِ خَيْرٌ فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ مَا أُرَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلاَّ 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.”
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَلا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِخَيْرِ دُورِ الْأَنْصَارِ؟ بَنِي النَّجَّارِ ثُمَّ بَنِي عَبْدِ الْأَشْهَلِ ثُمَّ بِالْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْخَزْرَجِ ثُمَّ بَنِي سَاعِدَةَ وَقَالَ فِي كُلِّ دُورِ الْأَنْصَارِ خَيْرٌ

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

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

"أَلا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِحيْرِ دُورِ الأَنْصَار؟ خَيْرُ دُورِ الأَنْصَار دَارُ بنى النَّجَّارِ،
ثُمَّ دَارُ بَنِى عبدِ الأَشْهَلِ، ثُمَّ دَارُ بَنِى الحَارِثِ بن الخَزْرجِ، ثُمَّ دَارُ بَنِى سَاعِدَةَ، وَفى كُلِّ دُورِ الأَنْصَارِ خَيْرٌ".
