Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #30068

Qutaibah narrated to us, he said, Al-Layth bin Saad narrated to us, on the authority of Yahya bin Saeed Al-Ansari, that he heard Anas bin Malik say, “The Messenger of God said: May God’s prayers and peace be upon him, “Shall I not inform you of the best of the Ansar or the best of the Ansar?” They said, “Yes, O Messenger of God.” He said, “Bani Al-Najjar, then those next to them are Banu Abd Al-Ashhal, then those next to them are Banu Al-Harith bin Al-Khazraj, then those next to them are Banu Sa’idah. “Then he said with his hand, and he clenched his fingers, then spread them out like an archer with his hands. He said, “And in the homes of the Ansar, all is good.” This is A good and authentic hadith. This was also narrated on the authority of Anas, on the authority of Abu Usayd al-Sa’idi, on the authority of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace.
