It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Amir al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said about the Ash'ari tribe: "They are from me and I am from them." Amir bin Abi Amir al-Ash'ari (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I narrated this hadith to Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him), and he said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not say it like that; rather he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "They are from me and (belong) to me." I said: My father narrated the hadith to me in just this way, that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "They are from me and I am from them." At this Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Then you know best the hadith your father narrated."
