Muhammad ibn ʿAbbād and Muhammad ibn Mihrān al-Rāzī narrated to us — and the wording is that of Ibn ʿAbbād — Ḥātim, who is Ibn Ismāʿīl, narrated to us from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Ḥumayd, from Ibrāhīm ibn Muḥammad ibn Ṭalḥah, who said: I heard Abū Usayd giving a sermon in the presence of Ibn ʿUtbah, and he said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The best of the dwellings of the Anṣār are the dwelling of the Banū al-Najjār, the dwelling of the Banū ʿAbd al-Ashhal, the dwelling of the Banū al-Ḥārith ibn al-Khazraj, and the dwelling of the Banū Sāʿidah." And by Allah, if I were to prefer anyone with it, I would have preferred my own clan with it.
