Abu Huraira reported Allah Messenger ﷺ as saying in a large gathering of the Muslims: Should I not tell you of the best clans of the Ansar? They said: Allah Messenger; kindly do this. Thereupon Allah Messenger said: That is Banu Abd AlAshhal. They said: Allah Messenger; then next? He said: Banu Najjar. They again said: Allah Messenger; then next? He said: Then of Banu Harith Bin Khazraj. They then said: Allah Messenger; then next? He said. Then of Banu Saida. They said: Allah Messenger; then next? He said: There is good in all the clans of the Ansar. It was upon this that Saad Bin Ubida stood up in annoyance and said: Are we the last of the four as Allah Messenger ﷺ has determined the order of precedence of their clans? He decided to talk with Allah Messenger ﷺ on this issue; but the people Of his tribe said to him: Be seated; are you not happy with this that Allah Messenger ﷺ has mentioned your clan as one of the four best clans and those whom he left and did not mention the order of their precedence are more than those whom he mentioned? And Saad Bin Ubada dropped the idea of talking to Allah Messenger ﷺ on this issue.
