صَفْوَانُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو ، حَدَّثَنِي
شُرَيْحُ بْنُ عُبَيْدة ، عَنْ
عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَائِذٍ الْأَزْدِيِّ ، عَنْ
عَمْرِو بْنِ عَبَسَةَ السُّلَمِيِّ ، قَالَ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَعْرِضُ يَوْمًا خَيْلًا ، وَعِنْدَهُ عُيَيْنَةُ بْنُ حِصْنِ بْنِ بَدْرٍ الْفَزَارِيُّ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَنَا أَفْرَسُ بِالْخَيْلِ مِنْكَ " ، فَقَالَ عُيَيْنَةُ : وَأَنَا أَفْرَسُ بِالرِّجَالِ مِنْكَ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " وَكَيْفَ ذَاكَ ؟ " قَالَ : خَيْرُ الرِّجَالِ رِجَالٌ يَحْمِلُونَ سُيُوفَهُمْ عَلَى عَوَاتِقِهِمْ ، جَاعِلِينَ رِمَاحَهُمْ عَلَى مَنَاسِجِ خُيُولِهِمْ ، لَابِسُو الْبُرُودِ مِنْ أَهْلِ نَجْدٍ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " كَذَبْتَ ، بَلْ
خَيْرُ الرِّجَالِ رِجَالُ أَهْلِ الْيَمَنِ ، وَالْإِيمَانُ يَمَانٍ إِلَى لَخْمٍ ، وَجُذَامَ ، وَعَامِلَةَ ، وَمَأْكُولُ حِمْيَرَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ آكِلِهَا ، وَحَضْرَمَوْتُ خَيْرٌ مِنْ بَنِي الْحَارِثِ ، وَقَبِيلَةٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْ قَبِيلَةٍ ، وَقَبِيلَةٌ شَرٌّ مِنْ قَبِيلَةٍ ، وَاللَّهِ مَا أُبَالِي أَنْ يَهْلِكَ الْحَارِثَانِ كِلَاهُمَا ، لَعَنَ اللَّهُ الْمُلُوكَ الْأَرْبَعَةَ : جَمَدَاءَ ، وَمِخْوَسًَا ، وَمِشْرَحًا ، وَأَبْضَعَةَ ، وَأُخْتَهُمْ الْعَمَرَّدَةَ " ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " أَمَرَنِي رَبِّي عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَنْ أَلْعَنَ قُرَيْشًا مَرَّتَيْنِ ، فَلَعَنْتُهُمْ ، وَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِمْ مَرَّتَيْنِ ، فَصَلَّيْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ مَرَّتَيْنِ " ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " عُصَيَّةُ عَصَتْ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ غَيْرَ قَيْسٍ ، وَجَعْدَةَ ، وَعُصَيَّةَ " ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " لَأَسْلَمُ ، وَغِفَارُ ، وَمُزَيْنَةُ ، وَأَخْلَاطُهُمْ مِنْ جُهَيْنَةَ ، خَيْرٌ مِنْ بَنِي أَسَدٍ ، وَتَمِيمٍ ، وَغَطَفَانَ ، وَهَوَازِنَ ، عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ " ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " شَرُّ قَبِيلَتَيْنِ فِي الْعَرَبِ : نَجْرَانُ ، وَبَنُو تَغْلِبَ ، وَأَكْثَرُ الْقَبَائِلِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ مَذْحِجٌ " ، قَالَ : قَالَ أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ : قَالَ صَفْوَانُ : " وَمَأْكُولُ حِمْيَرَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ آكِلِهَا " ، قَالَ : مَنْ مَضَى خَيْرٌ مِمَّنْ بَقِيَ .
It is narrated from Hazrat Amr bin Abasah (may Allah be pleased with him) that one day horses were being presented before the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and at that time Uyainah bin Hisn was also with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him, "I know better horses than you." He replied, "I know men better than you." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, "How is that?" He said, "The best men are those who carry swords on their shoulders, place spears on the necks of horses, and wear the cloaks of the people of Najd." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "You are wrong; rather, the best people are the people of Yemen. Faith is Yemeni. This ruling applies up to Lakhm, Juzam, and Amilah. The people of Himyar who have passed are better than those who remain. Hadramaut is better than Banu Harith. One tribe can be better than another, and one tribe can be worse than another. By Allah! I do not care if both Hariths perish. Allah's curse is upon four types of kings: (1) the miserly, (2) the treacherous, (3) the ill-tempered, (4) the weak and feeble, and among them are also the ill-natured." Then he said, "My Lord commanded me twice to curse the Quraysh, so I cursed them. Then I was commanded twice to pray for mercy for them, so I prayed for them." And he said, "The tribe of 'Asiyyah has disobeyed Allah and His Messenger, except for Qais, Ja'dah, and 'Asiyyah." He also said, "Among the tribes of Aslam, Ghifar, Muzainah, and Juhainah, their common family tribes are Najran and Banu Taghlib, and in Paradise, the tribes with the greatest numbers will be Madhhij and Makool."
