Silsilah Sahihah

- "One day he was reviewing horses, and with him was ‘Uyainah ibn Hisn ibn Badr al-Fazari. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said to him: I am more discerning of horses than you. ‘Uyainah said: And I am more discerning of men than you! The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said to him: And how is that? He said: The best of men are men who carry their swords on their shoulders, placing their spears on the weavings of their horses, wearing striped cloaks, from the people of Najd. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: You have lied, rather the best of men are the men of Yemen, and faith is Yemeni up to Lakhm, Judham, ‘Amilah, and the food of Himyar is better than its eater, and Hadramawt is better than Banu al-Harith, and a tribe is better than a tribe, and a tribe is worse than a tribe, and by Allah, I do not care if both al-Hariths perish. May Allah curse the four kings: Jamda’, Mukhawsa’, Mushrikha’, and Abda’, and their sister al-‘Amardah. Then he said: My Lord, Mighty and Majestic, commanded me to curse Quraysh twice, so I cursed them. And He commanded me to pray for them, so I prayed for them twice. Then he said: ‘Usayyah disobeyed Allah and His Messenger, except Qays, Ja‘dah, and ‘Usayyah. (__REF_N__). Then he said: Aslam, Ghifar, Muzaynah, and their mixtures from Juhaynah are better than Banu Asad, Tamim, Ghatafan, and Hawazin with Allah, Mighty and Majestic, on the Day of Resurrection. Then he said: The worst two tribes among the Arabs are Najran and Banu Taghlib, and the most numerous tribes in Paradise are Madhhij and Ma’kul." (__REF_N__) This is how it is in the original, and likewise in "Jami‘ al-Masanid" (10/19) and "al-Majma‘", and I have not discerned the reason for the exception after affirming it! End.
