Al-Aqra' bin Habis said to the Prophet ﷺ "Nobody gave you the pledge of allegiance but the robbers of the pilgrims (i.e. those who used to rob the pilgrims) from the tribes of Aslam, Ghifar, Muzaina." (Ibn Abi Ya'qub is in doubt whether Al-Aqra' added. 'And Juhaina.') The Prophet ﷺ said, "Don't you think that the tribes of Aslam, Ghifar, Muzaina (and also perhaps) Juhaina are better than the tribes of Bani Tamim, Bani Amir, Asad, and Ghatafan?" Somebody said, "They were unsuccessful and losers!" The Prophet said, "Yes, by Him in Whose Hands my life is, they (i.e. the former) are better than they (i.e. the latter).

لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِنَّمَا بَايَعَكَ سُرَّاقُ الْحَجِيجِ مِنْ أَسْلَمَ وَغِفَارَ وَمُزَيْنَةَ وَأَحْسِبُهُ وَجُهَيْنَةَ ابْنُ أَبِي يَعْقُوبَ شَكَّ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ كَانَ أَسْلَمُ وَغِفَارُ وَمُزَيْنَةُ وَأَحْسِبُهُ وَجُهَيْنَةُ خَيْرًا مِنْ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ وَبَنِي عَامِرٍ وَأَسَدٍ وَغَطَفَانَ خَابُوا وَخَسِرُوا قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنَّهُمْ لَخَيْرٌ مِنْهُمْ

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do you think if the tribes of Aslam, Ghifar, Muzaina and Juhaina are better than the tribes of Tamim, 'Amir bin Sa'sa'a, Ghatfan and Asad, they (the second group) are despairing and losing?" They (the Prophet's companions) said, "Yes, (they are)." He said, "By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, they (the first group) are better than them (the second group).

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ كَانَ أَسْلَمُ وَغِفَارُ وَمُزَيْنَةُ وَجُهَيْنَةُ خَيْرًا مِنْ تَمِيمٍ وَعَامِرِ بْنِ صَعْصَعَةَ وَغَطَفَانَ وَأَسَدٍ خَابُوا وَخَسِرُوا قَالُوا نَعَمْ فَقَالَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنَّهُمْ خَيْرٌ مِنْهُمْ

The tribes of Ashja', Ghifar and Muzaina and from the tribe of Juhaina they are better than Banu Tamim, Banu Amir and the allies of Asad and Ghatfan.

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ أَسْلَمُ وَغِفَارُ وَمُزَيْنَةُ وَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْ جُهَيْنَةَ أَوْ جُهَيْنَةُ خَيْرٌ مِنْ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ وَبَنِي عَامِرٍ وَالْحَلِيفَيْنِ أَسَدٍ وَغَطَفَانَ

Aslam, Ghifar or some people from Muzaina, Juhaina (with the variation of words) are better in the eye of Allah than Asad, Ghatfan, Hawizin and Tamim. The narrator said: I think he also said:" On the Day of Resurrection."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لأَسْلَمُ وَغِفَارُ وَشَىْءٌ مِنْ مُزَيْنَةَ وَجُهَيْنَةَ أَوْ شَىْءٌ مِنْ جُهَيْنَةَ وَمُزَيْنَةَ خَيْرٌ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ قَالَ أَحْسِبُهُ قَالَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنْ أَسَدٍ وَغَطَفَانَ وَهَوَازِنَ وَتَمِيمٍ

Abu Bakra reported from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that Aslam, Ghifar, Muzaina and Juhaina are better than Banu Tamim, Banu Amir and their allies Banu Asad and Ghatfan.

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَسْلَمُ وَغِفَارُ وَمُزَيْنَةُ وَجُهَيْنَةُ خَيْرٌ مِنْ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ وَمِنْ بَنِي عَامِرٍ وَالْحَلِيفَيْنِ بَنِي أَسَدٍ وَغَطَفَانَ

What is your view if Juhaina, Aslam, Ghifar were better than Banu Tamim, Banu 'Abdullah b. Ghatfan and 'Amir b. Sa'sa'a' respectively (then what would be status of the latter one)? He said this in a loud voice. They said: Messenger of Allah, they would be definitely at a loss and disadvantage. Thereupon he said: They (the first group) are decidedly better than the others; and in the hadith transmitted on the authority of Abu Kuraib the words are: It you were to find that Juhaina, Muzaina and Aslam and Ghifar (are better than...).

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ كَانَ جُهَيْنَةُ وَأَسْلَمُ وَغِفَارُ خَيْرًا مِنْ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ وَبَنِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ غَطَفَانَ وَعَامِرِ بْنِ صَعْصَعَةَ وَمَدَّ بِهَا صَوْتَهُ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَدْ خَابُوا وَخَسِرُوا قَالَ فَإِنَّهُمْ خَيْرٌ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي كُرَيْبٍ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ كَانَ جُهَيْنَةُ وَمُزَيْنَةُ وَأَسْلَمُ وَغِفَارُ

that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Aslam, Ghifar, and Muzainah are better than Tamim, Asad, Ghatafan, and Banu 'Amir bin Sa'sa'ah," prolonging his voice when saying it. So the people said: "They have been treacherous and have lost." He said: "So these are better than them."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَسْلَمُ وَغِفَارُ وَمُزَيْنَةُ خَيْرٌ مِنْ تَمِيمٍ وَأَسَدٍ وَغَطَفَانَ وَبَنِي عَامِرِ بْنِ صَعْصَعَةَ يَمُدُّ بِهَا صَوْتَهُ فَقَالَ الْقَوْمُ قَدْ خَابُوا وَخَسِرُوا قَالَ فَهُمْ خَيْرٌ مِنْهُمْ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ

[AI] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do you think that if a person embraces Islam and seeks forgiveness, he would be better than both the Asad and Ghatfan tribes? Would you consider them as losers?" They replied, "Yes." He said, "Indeed, they would be better than them." He further asked, "Do you think that if Müzeyne, the daughter of Jaheyna, was more beautiful than Tamim and Amr ibn Saasaa and her voice attracted people, would you consider them as losers?" They replied, "Yes." He said, "Indeed, they would be better than them."

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ كَانَ أَسْلَمُ وَغِفَارٌ خَيْرًا مِنَ الْحَلِيفَيْنِ أَسَدٍ وَغَطَفَانَ أَتُرَوْنَهُمْ خَسِرُوا؟» قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ «فَإِنَّهُمْ خَيْرٌ مِنْهُمْ» قَالَ «أَفَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ كَانَتْ مُزَيْنَةُ وَجُهَيْنَةُ خَيْرًا مِنْ تَمِيمٍ وَعَامِرِ بْنِ صَعْصَعَةَ وَمَدَّ بِهَا صَوْتَهُ أَتُرَوْنَهُمْ خَسِرُوا؟» قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ «فَإِنَّهُمْ خَيْرٌ مِنْهُمْ»

Aslam, Ghifar or some people from Muzaina, Juhaina (with the variation of words) are better in the eye of Allah than Asad, Ghatfan, Hawizin and Tamim. The narrator said: I think he also said:" On the Day of Resurrection." (Using translation from Muslim 2521c)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَأَسْلَمُ وَغِفَارٌوَشَيْءٌ مِنْ مُزَيْنَةَ وَجُهَيْنَةَ أَوْ شَيْءٌ مِنْ جُهَيْنَةَ وَمُزَيْنَةَ خَيْرٌ عِنْدَ اللهِ قَالَ أَحْسِبُهُ قَالَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنْ أَسَدٍ وَغَطَفَانَ وَهَوَازِنَ وَتَمِيمٍ

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Ghifār and Aslam and Muzaynah and whoever is from Juhaynah are better than the two confederates, Asad and Ghatfān, and Hawāzin and Tāmīm. He prepared for them, for they are the people of horses and nobility."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ غِفَارُ وَأَسْلَمُ وَمُزَيْنَةُ وَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْ جُهَيْنَةَ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْحَلِيفَيْنِ أَسَدٍ وَغَطَفَانَ وَهَوَازِنَ وَتَمِيمٍ دَبَرَ لَهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ أَهْلُ الْخَيْلِ وَالْوَبَرِ

The tribes of Ashja', Ghifar and Muzaina and from the tribe of Juhaina they are better than Banu Tamim, Banu Amir and the allies of Asad and Ghatfan. (Using translation from Muslim 2521a)

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ أَسْلَمُ وَغِفَارُ وَمُزَيْنَةُ وَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْ جُهَيْنَةَ قَالَ حَجَّاجٌ وَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْ مُزَيْنَةَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ وَبَنِي عَامِرٍ وَالْحَلِيفَيْنِ أَسَدٍ وَغَطَفَانَ

What is your view if Juhaina, Aslam, Ghifar were better than Banu Tamim, Banu 'Abdullah b. Ghatfan and 'Amir b. Sa'sa'a' respectively (then what would be status of the latter one)? He said this in a loud voice. They said: Messenger of Allah, they would be definitely at a loss and disadvantage. Thereupon he said: They (the first group) are decidedly better than the others; and in the hadith transmitted on the authority of Abu Kuraib the words are: It you were to find that Juhaina, Muzaina and Aslam and Ghifar (are better than...). (Using translation from Muslim 2522e)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ كَانَتْ جُهَيْنَةُ وَأَسْلَمُ وَغِفَارُ خَيْرًا مِنْ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ وَبَنِي عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ غَطَفَانَ وَبَنِي عَامِرِ بْنِ صَعْصَعَةَ وَمَدَّ بِهَا صَوْتَهُ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَدْ خَابُوا وَخَسِرُوا قَالَ فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَهُمْ خَيْرٌ

The tribes of Ashja', Ghifar and Muzaina and from the tribe of Juhaina they are better than Banu Tamim, Banu Amir and the allies of Asad and Ghatfan. (Using translation from Muslim 2521a)

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ أَسْلَمُ وَغِفَارُ وَمُزَيْنَةُ وَجُهَيْنَةُ خَيْرٌ مِنْ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ وَبَنِي عَامِرٍ

[AI] Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: "Have you not seen that if Aslam and Ghifar are better than Asad and Ghatfan, do you think they have lost? They replied: yes. He then said: they are indeed better than them. Have you not seen that if Juhayna and Muzayna are better than the two allies of Tameem and 'Amir bin Sa'sa'a, whom the Messenger of Allah ﷺ supports with his voice, do you think they have lost? They replied: yes. He then said: they are indeed better than them."

نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ كَانَ أَسْلَمُ وَغِفَارُ خَيْرًا مِنْ أَسَدٍ وَغَطَفَانَ أَتَرَوْنَهُمْ خَسِرُوا؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ فَإِنَّهُمْ خَيْرٌ مِنْهُمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ كَانَتْ جُهَيْنَةُ وَمُزَيْنَةُ خَيْرًا مِنَ الْحَلِيفَيْنِ مِنْ تَمِيمٍ وَعَامِرِ بْنِ صَعْصَعَةَ يَمُدُّ بِهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَوْتَهُ أَتَرَوْنَهُمْ خَسِرُوا؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ فَإِنَّهُمْ خَيْرٌ مِنْهُمْ

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do you think that if (a person) were to become a Muslim and seek forgiveness, it would be better than two allies: Asad and Ghatfan? Would you consider them to be losers?" They replied, "Yes." He said, "And do you think that if (a person) were to possess beauty and wealth, it would be better than the tribes of Banu Tamim and 'Amir ibn Sa'sa'a? And Hammad raised his voice with it (the question) to narrate the Prophet ﷺ . Would you consider them to be losers?" They replied, "Yes." He said, "Indeed, they are better than them."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ كَانَتْ أَسْلَمُ وَغِفَارُ خَيْرًا مِنَ الْحَلِيفَيْنِ أَسَدٍ وَغَطَفَانَ أَتَرَوْنَهُمْ خَسِرُوا؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ أَفَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ كَانَتْ مُزَيْنَةُ وَجُهَيْنَةُ خَيْرًا مِنْ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ وَعَامِرِ بْنِ صَعْصَعَةَ وَرَفَعَ حَمَّادٌ بِهَا صَوْتَهُ يَحْكِي النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَتَرَوْنَهُمْ خَسِرُوا؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ فَإِنَّهُمْ خَيْرٌ مِنْهُمْ

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Aslamu, Ghifaru, Juhayna, and Muzayna are better than the Banu Tamim, Asad, Ghatfan, and the Banu Amir ibn Sa'sa'a."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَسْلَمُ وَغِفَارُ وَجُهَيْنَةُ وَمُزَيْنَةُ خَيْرٌ مِنْ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ وَأَسَدٍ وَغَطَفَانَ وَبَنِي عَامِرِ بْنِ صَعْصَعَةَ»

[AI] "From the Prophet ﷺ, he said, 'Ghifar, Aslam, Muzaynah, and whoever is from Juhaynah are better than the two allies, Ghatafan and Asad, and Hawazin and Tameem are below them, as they are the people of horses and nobility.'"

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «غِفَارُ وَأَسْلَمُ وَمُزَيْنَةُ وَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْ جُهَيْنَةَ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْحَلِيفَيْنِ غَطَفَانَ وَأَسَدٍ وَهَوَازِنُ وَتَمِيمٌ دُونَهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ أَهْلُ الْخَيْلِ وَالْوَبَرِ»

"أَنَّ الأَقْرَعَ بْنَ حَابِسٍ جَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ الله ﷺ فَقَالَ: إِنَّما بَايَعَكَ سُرَّاقُ الْحَجيجِ مِنْ أَسْلَمَ، وَغِفَارٍ، (وَمُزَيْنَةَ) وَجُهَيْنَة (فقال رسول الله ﷺ : أرأيت إن كان أسلم وغفار وجهينة خَيْرًا مِنْ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ، وَمِنْ بَنِي عَامِرٍ وَأسَدٍ، وَغَطَفَان، أَخَابُوا وَخَسِرُوا؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ (قال) وَالَّذيِ نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنهم لأَخَيْرُ مِنْهُمْ".
