3516 (A). Narrated Abū Bakra رضي الله عنه: Al-Aqra' bin Ḥābis said to the Prophet ﷺ, "Nobody gave you the Bai'a (pledge) but the robbers of the pilgrims (i.e., those who used to rob the pilgrims) from the tribes of Aslam, Ghifār, Muzaina." (Ibn Abī Ya'qūb is in doubt whether Al-Aqra' added, 'And Juhaina.') The Prophet ﷺ said, "Don't you think that the tribes of Aslam, Ghifār, Muzaina (and also perhaps) Juhaina are better than the tribes of Banī Tamīm, Banī 'Āmir, Asad, and Ghāṭafān?" Somebody said, "They were unsuccessful and losers!" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Yes, by Him in Whose Hands my soul is, they (i.e., the former) are better than they (i.e., the latter)." 3516 (B). Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه (The Prophet ﷺ said), "(The people of) Banī Aslam, Ghifār and some people of Muzaina (or some people of Juhaina or Muzaina) are better with Allāh (or on the Day of Resurrection) than the tribes of Asad, Tamīm, Hawāzin and Ghāṭafān."

3516 - حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي يَعْقُوبَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ الأَقْرَعَ بْنَ حَابِسٍ، قَالَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: إِنَّمَا بَايَعَكَ سُرَّاقُ الحَجِيجِ، مِنْ أَسْلَمَ وَغِفَارَ وَمُزَيْنَةَ، - وَأَحْسِبُهُ - وَجُهَيْنَةَ - ابْنُ أَبِي يَعْقُوبَ شَكَّ - قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «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»
