It is narrated from Amr bin Abasah (may Allah be pleased with him) that one day horses were being presented before the Noble Prophet (ﷺ), and at that time Uyainah bin Hisn was also with the Noble Prophet (ﷺ). The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said to him, "I know better horses than you." He replied, "I know men better than you." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) asked, "How is that?" He said, "The best men are those who carry swords on their shoulders, place spears on the necks of horses, and wear the cloaks of the people of Najd." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You are wrong; rather, the best people are the people of Yemen. Faith is Yemeni. This ruling applies up to Lakhm, Juzam, and Amilah. The people of Himyar who have passed are better than those who remain. Hadramaut is better than Banu Harith. One tribe can be better than another, and one tribe can be worse than another. By Allah! I do not care if both Hariths perish. Allah's curse is upon four types of kings: (1) the miserly, (2) the treacherous, (3) the ill-tempered, (4) the weak and feeble, and among them are also the ill-natured." Then he said, "My Lord commanded me twice to curse the Quraysh, so I cursed them. Then I was commanded twice to pray for mercy for them, so I prayed for them." And he said, "The tribe of 'Asiyyah has disobeyed Allah and His Messenger, except for Qais, Ja'dah, and 'Asiyyah." He also said, "Among the tribes of Aslam, Ghifar, Muzainah, and Juhainah, their common family tribes are Najran and Banu Taghlib, and in Paradise, the tribes with the greatest numbers will be Madhhij and Makool."
