3911. Abū Usaid As-Sā'īdī narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "The best houses of the Anṣār are the houses of Banū An-Najjār, then the house of Banū 'Abdul-Ashhal, then Banū Al-Ĥārith bin Al-Khazraj then Banū Sā'īdah. And in all of the houses of the Anṣār there is good."
So Sa'd said: "I do not see except that the Prophet ﷺ has preferred everyone over us." So it was said: "He preferred you over many." (Sahīh)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Sahīh. And Abū Usaid As-Sā'īdī's name is Mālik bin Rabī'ah. [Similar to this has been reported from Abū Hurairah, from the Prophet ﷺ. And Ma'mar reported it from Az-Zuhri, from Abū Salamah, and 'Ubaidullāh bin 'Abdullāh bin 'Utbah, from Abū Hurairah, from the Prophet ﷺ].

Commentary
Sa'd bin 'Abdullāh was from the tribe of Banū Sā'īdah, and the Prophet ﷺ mentioned them at the fourth position. Three tribes were mentioned before his tribe, so he expressed his sentiments, on which he was informed by his nephew Sahl, that it was also a great honor to get the fourth position because this position is higher than many other tribes.
