It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Banu Asad and Ash'ar are the best tribes, who neither flee from the battlefield nor commit treachery. They are from me and I am from them."
Sayyiduna Abu Amir’s son, Amir, says: I narrated this hadith to Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him), so he said that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) did not say «هُمࣿمنّيِ» after «وَاَنَامِنهُمࣿ», rather he said «وَإِلَيَّ». Amir said: My father did not narrate it like this, rather he said «وَاَنَامِنࣿهُمࣿ». So Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: You would know your father’s hadith better.
