Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Quraysh and Ansar, Muzaynah, Juhaynah, Aslam, and Ghifar and Ashja‘—none of these tribes has any protector except Allah and His Messenger."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Tell me, if (the tribes of) Aslam and Ghifar are both better allies than Asad and Ghatafan, do you think that the latter would be at a loss and in ruin?" (i.e., the people of Asad and Ghatafan). The Companions replied: "Yes." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, they (Aslam and Ghifar) are better than them." Then he said: "Tell me, if Muzaynah and Juhaynah are better than Banu Tamim and Banu Amir bin Sa'sa'ah," then his voice became loud, "would the latter be in loss?" They replied: "Certainly, they would be ruined." He said: "They are better than them."
