3791. Narrated Abū Ĥumaid: The Prophet ﷺ said, "The best of the Anṣār families (homes) are the families (homes) of Banū An-Najjār, and then that of Banū 'Abdul-Ashhal, and then that of Banū Al-Ĥārith, and then that of Banū Sā'ida, and there is good in all the families (homes) of the Anṣār." Sa'd bin 'Ubāda followed us and said, "O Abū Usaid! Don't you see that the Prophet ﷺ compared the Anṣār and made us the last of them in superiority?" Then Sa'd met the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Allāh's Messenger! In comparing the Anṣār's families (homes) as to the degree of superiority, you have made us the last of them." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ replied, "Isn't it sufficient that you are regarded amongst the best?"

3791 - حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ يَحْيَى، عَنْ عَبَّاسِ بْنِ سَهْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «إِنَّ خَيْرَ دُورِ الأَنْصَارِ دَارُ بَنِي النَّجَّارِ، ثُمَّ عَبْدِ الأَشْهَلِ، ثُمَّ دَارُ بَنِي الحَارِثِ، ثُمَّ بَنِي سَاعِدَةَ، وَفِي كُلِّ دُورِ الأَنْصَارِ خَيْرٌ» فَلَحِقَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ فَقَالَ: أَبَا أُسَيْدٍ أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَيَّرَ الأَنْصَارَ فَجَعَلَنَا أَخِيرًا؟ فَأَدْرَكَ سَعْدٌ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ خُيِّرَ دُورُ الأَنْصَارِ فَجُعِلْنَا آخِرًا، فَقَالَ: «أَوَلَيْسَ بِحَسْبِكُمْ أَنْ تَكُونُوا مِنَ الخِيَارِ»
