3947. 'Āmir bin Abī 'Āmir Al-Ash'arī narrated from his father who said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Blessed are the tribes of Al-Asad and Al-Ash'arūn, they flee not from fighting nor do they pilfer
the spoils of war. They are from me and I am from them.”
He (‘Āmir) said: “So I narrated that to Mu‘āwiyah, and he said: ‘This is not how the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said it, he said: ‘They are from me, and for me.’ I said, this is not how my father narrated it to me, rather he narrated to me, saying: ‘I heard the Messenger of Allāh saying: “They are from me and I am from them.”’ So he said: ‘Then you are more knowledgeable of your father’s Hadīth.”’ (Hasan)
[Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Hadīth is [Hasan] Gharīb, we do not know of it except as a narration of Wahb bin Jarīr, and it is said that Al-Asad are Al-Azd.

Commentary
“They are from me and I am from them” means that we are similar in our manners, ways of life and conduct, there is no difference between us and them regarding the attitude towards the high values of life. They do not flee from the battlefield and do not pilfer the spoils.
