Chapter 48 · The Book of the Merits of the Companionsحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مِهْرَانَ الرَّازِيُّ - وَاللَّفْظُ لِابْنِ عَبَّادٍ - حَدَّثَنَا حَاتِمٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ طَلْحَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا أُسَيْدٍ، خَطِيبًا عِنْدَ ابْنِ عُتْبَةَ فَقَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «خَيْرُ دُورِ الْأَنْصَارِ دَارُ بَنِي النَّجَّارِ، وَدَارُ بَنِي عَبْدِ الْأَشْهَلِ، وَدَارُ بَنِي الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْخَزْرَجِ، وَدَارُ بَنِي سَاعِدَةَ» وَاللهِ لَوْ كُنْتُ مُؤْثِرًا بِهَا أَحَدًا لَآثَرْتُ بِهَا عَشِيرَتِي.

I heard Abu Sa'id رضی اللہ عنہ delivering an address in the presence of Abu 'Utba that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: The worthiest settlements of the Ansar are those of Banu Najjar, then of Banu 'Abu al-Ashhal and then of Banu Harith and then of Banu Khazraj and then of the clan of Banu Sa'idah, and if I were to give preference to anyone besides them I would have given preference to my relatives.
