Hazrat Abdur Rahman bin Abi Bakrah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from his father that his father, Hazrat Abu Bakrah (may Allah have mercy on him), said: Hazrat Aqra’ bin Habis (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: Indeed, from you, O Messenger of Allah, the thieves of the tribes of Aslam, Ghifar, Muzainah... the narrator says... I think he also mentioned the tribe of Juhainah... have pledged allegiance. Upon this, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: What is your opinion if the people of the tribes of Aslam, Ghifar, and Juhainah are better than the people of the tribes of Banu Tamim, Banu Amir, Asad, and Ghatafan, then are those people not in loss and harm? He (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Yes! The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then, by Him in Whose hand is my soul, surely they are better than them.

Hazrat Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: What is your opinion if the tribe of Juhainah, Aslam, and the tribe of Ghifar are better than the tribe of Banu Tamim and Abdullah bin Ghatafan, and Amir bin Sa’sa’ah and others? And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prolonged his voice while saying this. The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) submitted: O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)! Then those people will be at loss and in harm. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, these are the better people.

Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The tribe of Aslam, the tribe of Ghifar, the tribe of Muzaina, and those who are from the tribe of Juhaina—or he said, the people of the tribe of Juhaina—are better than the tribe of Banu Tamim, the tribe of Banu Amir, and their two allies, the tribe of Asad and the tribe of Ghatafan.

Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The tribe of Quraysh, the Ansar, the tribe of Aslam, and the tribe of Ghifar are friends of Allah and His Messenger (peace be upon him). These people have no friend besides them.

Hazrat Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: May Allah protect the tribe of Aslam, and may Allah forgive the tribe of Ghifar.

Hazrat Khafaf bin Ima’ bin Radhah Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) led us in prayer. When he raised his head from the second rak‘ah, he said:“May Allah keep the tribe of Aslam safe, and may Allah forgive the tribe of Ghifar.”Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned towards us and said:“Indeed, I did not say this, but Allah, the Exalted, has said it.”
