[6427] 180 - (2512) Abû Hurairah said: "While he was in a large gathering of Muslims, the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Shall I tell you about the best clans of the Anṣâr?' They said: 'Yes, O Messenger of Allâh.' The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Banû 'Abdul-Ashhal.' They said: 'Then who, O Messenger of Allâh?' He said: 'Then Banû An-Najjâr.' They said: 'Then who, O Messenger of Allâh?' He said: 'Then Banû Al-Hârith bin Al-Khazraj.' They said: 'Then who, O Messenger of Allâh?' He said: 'Then Banû Sâ'idah.' They said: 'Then who, O Messenger of Allâh?' He said: 'Then in every clan of the Anṣâr there is goodness.' "Sa'd bin 'Ubâdah stood up angrily and said: 'Are we the last of the four?' And he wanted to speak to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, but a man among his people said: 'Sit down. Are you not pleased that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ mentioned your clan among the four clans whom he mentioned by name? Those whom he left and did not mention by name are more than those whom he did mention by name.' So Sa'd bin 'Ubâdah dropped the idea of speaking to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ."
