Narrated Abu Bakrah:
حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ ابْنِ عُمَيْرٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " أَسْلَمُ وَغِفَارُ وَمُزَيْنَةُ خَيْرٌ مِنْ تَمِيمٍ وَأَسَدٍ وَغَطَفَانَ وَبَنِي عَامِرِ بْنِ صَعْصَعَةَ " . يَمُدُّ بِهَا صَوْتَهُ فَقَالَ الْقَوْمُ قَدْ خَابُوا وَخَسِرُوا . قَالَ " فَهُمْ خَيْرٌ مِنْهُمْ " . هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ .
that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Aslam, Ghifar, and Muzainah are better than Tamim, Asad, Ghatafan, and Banu 'Amir bin Sa'sa'ah," prolonging his voice when saying it. So the people said: "They have been treacherous and have lost." He said: "So these are better than them."
