حديث أَبِي أُسَيْدٍ رضي الله عنها، قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: خَيْرُ دُورِ الأَنْصَارِ بَنُو النَّجَّارِ، ثُمَّ بَنُو عَبْدِ الأَشْهَلِ، ثُمَّ بَنُو الْحرِثِ بْنِ خَزْرَجٍ، ثُمَّ بَنُو سَاعِدَةَ؛ وَفِي كُلِّ دُورِ الأَنْصَارِ خَيْرٌفَقَالَ سَعْدٌ: مَأ أَرَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ إِلَاّ قَدْ فَضَّلَ عَلَيْنَا فَقِيلَ: قَدْ فَضَّلَكمْ عَلَى كَثِيرٍ.
Abu Usaid Narrated from:
The Prophet ﷺ said, "The best of the Ansâr's families (homes) are those of Banû An-Najjâr and then (those of) Banû 'Abdul Ashhal, then (those of) Banû Al-Hârith bin Al-Khazraj and then (those of) Banû Sâ'ida; nevertheless, there is good in all the families (houses) of the Ansâr." On this, Sa'd (bin Ubâdah) [1] said, "I see that the Prophet ﷺ has preferred some people to us." Somebody said (to him), "No, but he has given you superiority over many." ( Sahih Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 133, Vol. 5)
[1] Sa'd belonged to Banû Sâ'ida.
