About Which Houses Of The Ansar Are The Best
Jami at-Tirmidhi
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الأَنْصَارِيِّ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " أَلاَ أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِخَيْرِ دُورِ الأَنْصَارِ أَوْ بِخَيْرِ الأَنْصَارِ " . قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ . قَالَ " بَنُو النَّجَّارِ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ بَنُو عَبْدِ الأَشْهَلِ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ بَنُو الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْخَزْرَجِ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ بَنُو سَاعِدَةَ " . ثُمَّ قَالَ بِيَدِهِ فَقَبَضَ أَصَابِعَهُ ثُمَّ بَسَطَهُنَّ كَالرَّامِي بِيَدَيْهِ قَالَ " وَفِي دُورِ الأَنْصَارِ كُلِّهَا خَيْرٌ " . هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ . وَقَدْ رُوِيَ هَذَا أَيْضًا عَنْ أَنَسٍ عَنْ أَبِي أُسَيْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم .
Narrated Anas bin Malik: That The Messenger Of Allah (ﷺ) Said: "Shall I Inform You Of The Best Houses Of The Ansar, Or Of The Best Of The Ansar?" They Said: "Of Course, O Messenger Of Allah!" He Said: "Banu An-Najjar. Then Those Who Come After Them Are Banu 'Abdul-Ashhal. Then Those Who Come After Them Are Banu Al-Harith Bin Al-Khazraj. Then Those Who Come After Them Are Banu Sa'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 Ansar There Is Good."
