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."

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ كَانَ جُهَيْنَةُ وَمُزَيْنَةُ وَأَسْلَمُ وَغِفَارُ خَيْرًا مِنْ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ وَبَنِي أَسَدٍ وَمِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ غَطَفَانَ وَمِنْ بَنِي عَامِرِ بْنِ صَعْصَعَةَ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ خَابُوا وَخَسِرُوا فَقَالَ هُمْ خَيْرٌ مِنْ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ وَمِنْ بَنِي أَسَدٍ وَمِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ غَطَفَانَ وَمِنْ بَنِي عَامِرِ بْنِ صَعْصَعَةَ

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

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

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." (Using translation from Bukhārī 3515)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ كَانَ جُهَيْنَةُ وَأَسْلَمُ وَغِفَارُ وَمُزَيْنَةُ خَيْرًا عِنْدَ اللهِ مِنْ بَنِي أَسَدٍ وَمِنْ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ وَمِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ غَطَفَانَ وَمِنْ بَنِي عَامِرِ بْنِ صَعْصَعَةَ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ قَدْ خَابُوا وَخَسِرُوا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ هُمْ خَيْرٌ مِنْ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ وَمِنْ بَنِي عَامِرِ بْنِ صَعْصَعَةَ وَمِنْ بَنِي أَسَدٍ وَمِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ غَطَفَانَ

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

[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

قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ كَانَتْ جُهَيْنَةُ وَمُزَيْنَةُ وَأَسْلَمُ وَغِفَارٌ خَيْرًا مِنْ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ وَمِنْ بَنِي أَسَدٍ وَمِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ غَطَفَانِ وَمِنْ بَنِي عَامِرِ بْنِ صَعْصَعَةَ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ خَابُوا وَخَسِرُوا قَالَ فَإِنَّهُمْ خَيْرٌ مِنْ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ وَمِنْ بَنِي أَسَدٍ وَمِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ غَطَفَانِ وَمِنْ بَنِي عَامِرِ بْنِ صَعْصَعَةَ وَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ قَدْ رُوِيَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ وَهَذَا إِسْنَادٌ حَسَنٌ مِمَّا يُرْوَى فِي مِثْلِ هَذَا
