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).  

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
