حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مُرَّةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا حَمْزَةَ رَجُلًا مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ قَالَتْ الْأَنْصَارُ إِنَّ لِکُلِّ قَوْمٍ أَتْبَاعًا وَإِنَّا قَدْ اتَّبَعْنَاکَ فَادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَ أَتْبَاعَنَا مِنَّا قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ أَتْبَاعَهُمْ مِنْهُمْ قَالَ عَمْرٌو فَذَکَرْتُهُ لِابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَی قَالَ قَدْ زَعَمَ ذَاکَ زَيْدٌ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ أَظُنُّهُ زَيْدَ بْنَ أَرْقَمَ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 3789
Narrated Abu Usaid: The Prophet said, "The best of the Ansar's families (homes) are those of Banu An-Najjar and then (those of) Banu `Abdul Ash-hal, then (those of) Banu Al-Harith bin Al-Khazraj and then (those of) Banu Sa`ida; nevertheless, there is good in all the families (houses) of the Ansar." On this, Sa`d (bin Ubada) said, "I see that the Prophet has preferred some people to us." Somebody said (to him), "No, but he has given you superiority to many."
