حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَجِيبَةَ الْمُسْتَمْلِي الْحَافِظُ الْحَضَرِيُّ الْمِصْرِيُّ ، بِمِصْرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ النَّخَعِيِّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : "أَسْلَمُ ، وَغِفَارٌ ، وَمُزَيْنَةُ ، وَجُهَيْنَةُ خَيْرٌ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مِنْ بَنِي أَسَدٍ ، وَغَطَفَانَ ، وَبَنِي عَامِرِ بْنِ صَعْصَعَةَ "، لَمْ يَرْوِهِ عَنْ أَبِي الأَشْهَبِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ النَّخَعِيِّ الْكُوفِيِّ ، إِلا إِسْمَاعِيلُ . تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ ابْنُ وَهْبٍ
Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Aslam, Ghifar, Muzaynah, and Juhaynah are better in the sight of Allah than Banu Asad, Ghatafan, and Banu Amir bin Sa'sa'ah."

Hadith Commentary:
In the era of ignorance (Jahiliyyah), the tribes of Juhaynah, Muzaynah, Aslam, and Ghifar were considered of lower status compared to the tribes of Banu Tamim, Banu Asad, Banu Abd Allah ibn Ghatafan, and Banu Amir ibn Sa’sa’ah, etc.
Then, when Islam came, these tribes were at the forefront in accepting it; therefore, in honor and virtue, they surpassed the tribes of Banu Tamim and others.

Shaykh Abdul Sattar al-Hammad
Hadith Commentary:
The aforementioned tribes were deemed praiseworthy because they accepted Islam very early and possessed excellent character; furthermore, their hearts were soft and tender.
In contrast, Banu Asad and others, after the passing of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), joined Talhah bin Khuwailid and became apostates, and Banu Tamim also turned away from Islam by joining the claimant to prophethood, Sajah. Therefore, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) considered Juhaynah, Muzaynah, Aslam, and Ghifar superior in comparison to those tribes.
