3838. Abū Hurairah said: "The Prophet ﷺ said to me: 'Who are you from?' I said: 'From Daws.' He said: 'I did not used to think there was anyone from Daws in whom there was good.'" (Hasan) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is [Hasan] Gharīb Ṣaḥīḥ. And Abū Khaldah's name is Khālid bin Dīnār, and Abū Al-'Āliyāh's name is Rufaī'.
٣٨٣٨ - حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ آدَمَ ابْنُ بِنْتِ أَزْهَرَ السَّمَّانِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَلْدَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعَالِيَةِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: «قَالَ لِيَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: مِمَّنْ أَنْتَ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: مِنْ دَوْسٍ» قَالَ: مَا كُنْتُ أَرَى أَنَّ فِي دَوْسٍ أَحَدًا فِيهِ خَيْرٌ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ. وَأَبُو خَلْدَةَ اسْمُهُ: خَالِدُ بْنُ دِينَارٍ، وَأَبُو الْعَالِيَةِ اسْمُهُ: رُفَيْعٌ.

In the view of the Prophet ﷺ there was none in the tribe of Daws with good in him, but Allāh ﷻ honored that tribe with a notable Companion like Abū Hurairah. Seeing Abū Hurairah's nature, Allāh's Messenger's interest increased in this tribe, and as a result of the supplication of the Prophet ﷺ this tribe embraced Islam.
