Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Sahihah

Sayyiduna Amr bin Abasah Salami (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was presenting a horse one day, and with him was Uyainah bin Hisn bin Badr Fazari. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "I am more knowledgeable about the affairs of horses than you." Uyainah said: "I am more knowledgeable about the affairs of men than you." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him: "How is that?" He said: "The Najdi people are the best; they have raised their swords on their shoulders, adorned their spears on their horses, and wear striped cloaks." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You have spoken contrary to the truth; the Yemeni people are the best. Faith is found among the Yemeni tribes: Lakhm, Juzam, and Amilah. The Makool tribe of Himyar is better than Akil, and Hadramaut is better than Banu Harith. (And it happens that) one tribe is better than another, and one tribe is worse than another. By Allah! I do not care if both tribes of Harith are destroyed. Allah has cursed these four kings: Jamda, Makhusa, Musharika, Abda'a, and their sister Amardah." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "My Lord commanded me to curse the Quraysh twice, and then He commanded me to pray for mercy for them, so I prayed for mercy for them twice." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The tribes of Asiyyah, Qais, and Ja'dah disobeyed Allah and His Messenger." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "On the Day of Resurrection, with Allah, Aslam, Ghifar, Muzaynah, and their allied tribes from Juhaynah will be better than these tribes: Banu Asad, Tamim, Ghatafan, and Hawazin." Then he said: "Najran and Banu Taghlib are the worst tribes among the Arabs, and (compared to other tribes) the number of Madhhij and Makool tribes will be the greatest in Paradise."
