15) Chapter: The virtues of Sa'd bin ‘Ubada رضي الله عنه
Aisha said, "Before that, he (i.e. Sa`d) was a pious man."
Narrated Abu Usaid:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The best of the Ansar's houses are those of Bani An-Najjar, then those of Bani
`Abdul Ash-hal, then those of Bani Al-Harith bin Al-Khazraj, then those of Bani Saida; but there is
goodness in all the houses of the Ansar." Sa`d bin Ubada who was one of those who embraced Islam
early, said, "I see that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) is giving others superiority above us." Some people said to him,
"But he has given you superiority above many other people."
15) باب مَنْقَبَةُ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ رضى الله عنه
وَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ وَكَانَ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ رَجُلاً صَالِحًا.
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ أَبُو أُسَيْدٍ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم . فَقَالَ سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ ـ وَكَانَ ذَا قِدَمٍ فِي الإِسْلاَمِ ـ أَرَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَدْ فَضَّلَ عَلَيْنَا. فَقِيلَ لَهُ قَدْ فَضَّلَكُمْ عَلَى نَاسٍ كَثِيرٍ. " خَيْرُ دُورِ الأَنْصَارِ بَنُو النَّجَّارِ، ثُمَّ بَنُو عَبْدِ الأَشْهَلِ، ثُمَّ بَنُو الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْخَزْرَجِ، ثُمَّ بَنُو سَاعِدَةَ وَفِي كُلِّ دُورِ الأَنْصَارِ خَيْرٌ "
