Q
What significance does the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) place on the past actions of tribes when assessing their value?
A
Al-Aqra’ bin Habis said to the Prophet (ﷺ) “Nobody gave you the pledge of allegiance but the robbers of
the pilgrims (i.e. those who used to rob the pilgrims) from the tribes of Aslam, Ghifar, Muzaina.” (Ibn
Abi Ya’qub is in doubt whether Al-Aqra’ added. ‘And Juhaina.’) The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Don’t you think
that the tribes of Aslam, Ghifar, Muzaina (and also perhaps) Juhaina are better than the tribes of Bani
Tamim, Bani Amir, Asad, and Ghatafan?” Somebody said, “They were unsuccessful and losers!” The
Prophet said, “Yes, by Him in Whose Hands my life is, they (i.e. the former) are better than they (i.e.
the latter).
