They said: 'Then who, 0 Messenger of Allah'?' He said: 'Then Banü A]- Uârith bin Al-Khazraj.' They said: 'Then who, 0 Messenger of Allah?' He said: 'Then Banü Sâ'idah.' They said: 'Then who, 0 Messenger of Allah?' He said: 'Then in every clan of the Ansâr there is goodness.' "Sa'd bin 'Ubâdah stood up angrily and said: 'Are we the last of the four?' And he wanted to speak to the Messenger of Allah , but a man among his people said: 'Sit down. Are you not pleased that the Messenger of Allah 1 mentioned your clan among the four clans whom he mentioned by name? Those whom he left and did not mention by name are more than those whom he did mention by name.' So Sa'd bin 'Uhâdah dropped the idea of speaking to the Messenger of Allah ."
