3910. Anas bin Mālik narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Shall I inform you of the best houses of the Anṣār, or of the best of the Anṣār?" They said: "Of course, O Messenger of Allāh!" He said: "Banū An-Najjār. Then those who come after them are Banū 'Abdul-Aṣḥhal. Then those who come after them are Banū Al-Ḥārith bin Al-Khazraj. Then those who come after them are Banū Sā'idah." Then he motioned with his hands, clenching his fingers, then opening them, like an archer does with his hands. He said: "And in all of the houses of the Anṣār there is good." (Ṣaḥīḥ)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ. And this Ḥadīth has also been related from Anas, from Abū Usaid As-Sā'idī from the Prophet ﷺ.
