And ‘Amr al-Nāqid and ʿAbd ibn Ḥumayd narrated to me, both saying: Yaʿqūb — that is, Ibn Ibrāhīm ibn Saʿd — narrated to us, saying: my father narrated to us, on the authority of Ṣāliḥ, on the authority of Ibn Shihāb, who said: Abū Salama and ʿUbayd Allāh ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿUtba ibn Masʿūd said: they heard Abū Hurayra say: The Messenger of Allāh, peace and blessings be upon him, said — while he was in a great gathering of the Muslims — “I shall tell you of the best of the houses of the Anṣār.” They said: “Yes, O Messenger of Allāh.” The Messenger of Allāh, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “The Banū ʿAbd al-Ashhal.” They said: “Then who, O Messenger of Allāh?” He said: “Then the Banū al-Najjār.” They said: “Then who, O Messenger of Allāh?” He said: “Then the Banū al-Ḥārith ibn al-Khazraj.” They said: “Then who, O Messenger of Allāh?” He said: “Then the Banū Sāʿida.” They said: “Then who, O Messenger of Allāh?” He said: “Then in every house of the Anṣār there is good.” Then Saʿd ibn ʿUbāda stood up angrily and said: “Are we the last of the four?” — when the Messenger of Allāh, peace and blessings be upon him, had named their house — and he wanted to speak to the Messenger of Allāh, peace and blessings be upon him. But men from his people said to him: “Sit down. Are you not content that the Messenger of Allāh, peace and blessings be upon him, named your house among the four houses he named? For those he left unnamed are more numerous than those he named.” So Saʿd ibn ʿUbāda refrained from speaking to the Messenger of Allāh, peace and blessings be upon him.
