Hadith 2559
حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مِنْهَالٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ: أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: "أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ كَانَ أَسْلَمُ، وَغِفَارٌ خَيْرًا مِنَ الْحَلِيفَيْنِ أَسَدٍ وَغَطَفَانَ، أَتُرَوْنَهُمْ خَسِرُوا ؟". قَالُوا: نَعَمْ . قَالَ: "فَإِنَّهُمْ خَيْرٌ مِنْهُمْ". قَالَ: "أَفَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ كَانَتْ مُزَيْنَةُ، وَجُهَيْنَةُ خَيْرًا مِنْ تَمِيمٍ وَعَامِرِ بْنِ صَعْصَعَةَ وَمَدَّ بِهَا صَوْتَهُ أَتُرَوْنَهُمْ خَسِرُوا ؟". قَالُوا: نَعَمْ . قَالَ: "فَإِنَّهُمْ خَيْرٌ مِنْهُمْ".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Tell me, if (the tribes of) Aslam and Ghifar are both better allies than Asad and Ghatafan, do you think that the latter would be at a loss and in ruin?" (i.e., the people of Asad and Ghatafan). The Companions replied: "Yes." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, they (Aslam and Ghifar) are better than them." Then he said: "Tell me, if Muzaynah and Juhaynah are better than Banu Tamim and Banu Amir bin Sa'sa'ah," then his voice became loud, "would the latter be in loss?" They replied: "Certainly, they would be ruined." He said: "They are better than them."
