خَيْرُ الأَنْصَارِ أَوْ خَيْرُ دُورِ الأَنْصَارِ
. بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِهِمْ فِي ذِكْرِ الدُّورِ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ قِصَّةَ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ رضى الله عنه .
English translation
Abu Usaid Ansari reported that he heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:
The worthiest of the Ansar or the worthiest of the settlements and the clans of Ansar; the rest of the hadith is the same, but there is no mention of the story of Sa'd b. 'Ubida (Allah be pleased with him).
