Abu Usaid Ansar reported: I bear witness to the fact that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: The best settlements of the Ansar are of those of Banu Najjar, then of Banu 'Abu al-Aslihal and then of Banu Harith b. Khazraj, then of Banu Sa'ida and there is in every settlement of the Ansar good. Abu Salama reported that Abu Usaid said: Can I tell a Iie about Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم )? And if I were a liar, I would have started with my tribe Banu Sa'ida. This was conveyed to Sa'd b. 'Ubida and he found (rankling) in his mind and said: We have been left behind (in the sense) that we have been (mentioned) last of the four. He (Sa'd) sid: Saddle my pony so that I should go to Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ). His nephew saw him and said: Are you going to contradict (the order of) precedence set by Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ), whereas Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) has the best knowledge of it? Is it not sufficient for you that you are the fourth amongst the four (best tribes of the Ansar)? So he returned and said: Allah and His Messenger know best, and he commanded that his pony should be unsaddled.

Ubida stood up in annoyance and said: Are we the last of the four as Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) has determined (the order of precedence) of their clans? He decided to talk with Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) on this issue, but the people Of his tribe said to him: Be seated, are you not happy with this that Allah's Messenger' ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) has mentioned your clan as one of the four (best) clans and those whom he left and did not mention (the order of their precedence) are more than those whom he mentioned? And Sa'd b. 'Ubada dropped the idea of talking to Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) (on this issue).
