Sahih al-Bukhari 3515 (Book 61, Hadith 25) #3357
Comparing Tribes

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) was asking if certain tribes were better than others, and a man said they were unsuccessful and losers. The Prophet (ﷺ) then said that they were indeed better than the other tribes.

Narrated Abu Bakra: The Prophet said, "Do you think that the tribes of Juhaina, Muzaina, Aslam and Ghifar are better than the tribes of Bani Tamim, Bani Asad, Bani 'Abdullah bin Ghatafan and Bani Amir bin Sasaa?" A man said, "They were unsuccessful and losers". The Prophet added, "(Yes), they are better than the tribes of Bani Tamim, Bani Asad, Bani 'Abdullah bin Ghatafan and Bani Amir bin Sasaa".
حَدَّثَنَا قَبِيصَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ،‏.‏ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏"‏ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ كَانَ جُهَيْنَةُ وَمُزَيْنَةُ وَأَسْلَمُ وَغِفَارُ خَيْرًا مِنْ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ وَبَنِي أَسَدٍ، وَمِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ غَطَفَانَ وَمِنْ بَنِي عَامِرِ بْنِ صَعْصَعَةَ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ خَابُوا وَخَسِرُوا‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ هُمْ خَيْرٌ مِنْ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ وَمِنْ بَنِي أَسَدٍ، وَمِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ غَطَفَانَ، وَمِنْ بَنِي عَامِرِ بْنِ صَعْصَعَةَ

EXPLANATIONS:
In this hadith, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is comparing different tribes to each other. A man suggested that some of them were unsuccessful and losers, but the Prophet ﷺ disagreed with him and said that they were actually better than the other tribes. This hadith teaches us to be careful when making comparisons between people or groups of people because we may not always have all of the facts or information needed to make an accurate judgement. It also teaches us to respect everyone regardless of their background or status in society as Allah is ultimately in control over who succeeds and who fails in life.
