´Narrated Abu Usaid As-Sa'idi:` that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "The Best houses of the Ansar are the houses of Banu An-Najjar, then the house of Banu 'Abdul-Ashhal, then Banu Al-Harith bin Al-Khazraj, then Banu Sa'idah. And in all of the houses of the Ansar there is good." So Sa'd said: "I do not see except that the Prophet (ﷺ) has preferred everyone over us." So it was said: "He preferred you over many."

That is: tribes and clans.
2:
You (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) were from Banu Sa‘idah, whom the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) mentioned in the fourth rank.
3:
That is: Even after Banu Sa‘idah, there are many clans among the Ansar over whom Banu Sa‘idah was given preference.

therefore, no objection should be raised against you (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).
This advice was given by Sa‘d ibn Mu‘adh’s brother, Sahl (as mentioned in Muslim).
