(قَبِيلَةُ دَوْسٍ لِحَضْرَةِ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ)
(The Daws tribe of Hazrat Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him)
Hadith 5997
وَعَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ لِي النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: مِمَّنْ أَنْتَ؟ قُلْتُ: مِنْ دَوْسٍ. قَالَ: «مَا كُنْتُ أَرَى أَنَّ فِي دَوْسٍ أحدا فِيهِ خير» . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيّ
He told that God's messenger asked him to what tribe he[*] belonged, and that when he replied that he belonged to Daus he said, "I did not think that Daus had a single man with any good in him." *i.e., Abu Huraira. Tirmidhi transmitted it.
