Abu Usaid Ansar reported:
I bear witness to the fact that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: The best settlements of the Ansar are of those of Banu Najjar, then of Banu 'Abu al-Aslihal and then of Banu Harith b. Khazraj, then of Banu Sa'ida and there is in every settlement of the Ansar good. Abu Salama reported that Abu Usaid said: Can I tell a Iie about Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم )? And if I were a liar, I would have started with my tribe Banu Sa'ida. This was conveyed to Sa'd b. 'Ubida and he found (rankling) in his mind and said: We have been left behind (in the sense) that we have been (mentioned) last of the four. He (Sa'd) sid: Saddle my pony so that I should go to Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ). His nephew saw him and said: Are you going to contradict (the order of) precedence set by Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ), whereas Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) has the best knowledge of it? Is it not sufficient for you that you are the fourth amongst the four (best tribes of the Ansar)? So he returned and said: Allah and His Messenger know best, and he commanded that his pony should be unsaddled.
