Jami at-Tirmidhi 3952 (Book 49, Hadith 352) #29614
The Virtue of Loyalty

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is emphasizing the importance of loyalty and faithfulness, and that it is better than being treacherous.

Narrated Abu Bakrah: that the Messenger of Allah 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".
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 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

EXPLANATIONS:
In this hadith, the Prophet Muhammad is emphasizing the importance of loyalty and faithfulness. He mentions four tribes - Aslam, Ghifar, Muzainah, and Tamim - to illustrate his point. He says that these four tribes are better than another four tribes - Asad, Ghatafan, Banu 'Amir bin Sa'sa'ah - because they have been more loyal and faithful to their commitments. This hadith teaches us that loyalty and faithfulness are important values in Islam; they should be upheld at all times in order to maintain good relationships with others. Furthermore, it also teaches us that treachery should be avoided as it can lead to negative consequences for both parties involved in a relationship or agreement.
