Sahih al-Bukhari 6635 (Book 83, Hadith 14) #6381
The Superiority of Certain Tribes

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ is teaching that the tribes of Aslam, Ghifar, Muzaina and Juhaina are better than the tribes of Tamim, 'Amir bin Sa'sa'a, Ghatfan and Asad.

Narrated Abu Bakra: The Prophet said, "Do you think if the tribes of Aslam, Ghifar, Muzaina and Juhaina are better than the tribes of Tamim, 'Amir bin Sa'sa'a, Ghatfan and Asad, they (the second group) are despairing and losing?" They (the Prophet's companions) said, "Yes, (they are)". He said, "By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, they (the first group) are better than them (the second group).
حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبٌ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي يَعْقُوبَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏"‏ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ كَانَ أَسْلَمُ وَغِفَارُ وَمُزَيْنَةُ وَجُهَيْنَةُ خَيْرًا مِنْ تَمِيمٍ وَعَامِرِ بْنِ صَعْصَعَةَ وَغَطَفَانَ وَأَسَدٍ، خَابُوا وَخَسِرُوا ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالُوا نَعَمْ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنَّهُمْ خَيْرٌ مِنْهُمْ

QUICK LESSONS:
Respect all people regardless of tribe or family; judge people based on character rather than external factors; recognize one’s worthiness based on one’s actions rather than external factors such as tribe or family name.

EXPLANATIONS:
In this hadith narrated by Abu Bakra, the Prophet ﷺ is teaching us about the superiority of certain tribes. He asked his companions if they thought that the tribes of Aslam, Ghifar, Muzaina and Juhaina were better than those of Tamim, 'Amir bin Sa'sa'a , Ghatfan and Asad. His companions answered yes to this question. The Prophet ﷺ then affirmed their answer by saying “By Him in Whose Hand my soul is” which means he was sure about what he was saying. This hadith teaches us that we should not judge people based on their tribe or family but rather on their character and actions as these are more important in determining a person’s worthiness or superiority over another person.
