It is narrated from Sayyiduna Tariq bin Shihab (may Allah be pleased with him) that a delegation from Bajilah came to the service of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said regarding them: "Record the names of the individuals of Banu Bajilah, and write the names of Banu Ahmas first." Upon hearing this, a man from Banu Qais stepped back to see what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would say about them. He narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said five times in their favor: "O Allah! Have mercy on them." Or, "O Allah! Send blessings upon them." The narrator, Mukharraq, was uncertain about these words.

. (Second chain) It is narrated from Tariq bin Shihab, he says: A delegation of people from Banu Ahmas and Banu Qais came to the service of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Begin with Banu Ahmas before Banu Qais. Then the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, supplicated seven times in favor of Banu Ahmas: "O Allah! Bless Ahmas, their cavalry, and their foot soldiers."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The first person to meet me in Paradise will be a woman from the Banu Ahmas.
