(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, Sad (bin

Saida; and there is good in all the families (homes) of the Ansar.” Sad bin ‘Ubada followed us and
said, “O Abu Usaid ! Don’t you see that the Prophet compared the Ansar and made us the last of them
in superiority?
Then Sad met the Prophet and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! In comparing the Ansar’s families (homes)
as to the degree of superiority, you have made us the last of them.” Allah’s Apostle replied, “Isn’t it
sufficient that you are regarded amongst the best?”
