Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 34658 — People whom the Prophet

Abd al-Rahman bin Abi Bakrah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated from his father that his father, Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him), said: Sayyiduna al-Aqra' bin Habis (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "Indeed, it is only the thieves of the pilgrims from the tribes of Aslam, Ghifar and Muzaynah - the narrator said: I think he also said the tribe of Juhaynah - who have pledged allegiance to you." At this the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What is your opinion: if the tribes of Aslam and Ghifar and, I think, Juhaynah are better than Banu Tamim, Banu Amir, Asad and Ghatafan, are those people then not in loss and ruin?" He (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Yes!" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By the One in whose hand is my soul, they are indeed better than them."
