"قَالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ : أَرَأيْتُمْ إِنْ كَانَ جُهَيْنَةُ وَأَسْلَمُ وَغِفَارُ خَيْرًا مِنْ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ وَمِنْ بَنِي أَسَدٍ، وَمِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ الله بْنِ غَطْفَانَ، وَمِنْ بَني عَامِرِ بْنِ صَعْصَعَةَ، وَمَدَّ بِهَا صَوْتَهُ، قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ الله: فَقَدْ خَابُوا وَخَسروا، قَالَ: فَإِنَّهُم خَيْرٌ مِنْ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ، وَمِنْ بَنِي أَسَدٍ، وَمِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ الله بْنِ غَطَفَانَ، وَمِنْ بَنِي عَامِرِ بْنِ صَعْصَعَةَ".

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do you think that the tribes of Juhaina, Muzaina, Aslam and Ghifar are better than the tribes of Bani Tamim, Bani Asad, Bani ʿAbdullah bin Ghatafan and Bani Amir bin Sasaa?" A man said, "They were unsuccessful and losers." The Prophet ﷺ added, "(Yes), they are better than the tribes of Bani Tamim, Bani Asad, Bani ʿAbdullah bin Ghatafan and Bani Amir bin Sasaa."

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)?

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...).
