قَالَ الْحَارِثُ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ، حَدَّثَنَا سَلَّامُ بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ، عَنْ زَيْدٍ الْعَمِّيِّ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ، قَالَ:
سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ قَبَائِلِ الْعَرَبِ، قَالَ: فَشُغِلَ عَنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَوْ شُغِلُوا عَنْهُ، إِلَّا أَنَّهُمْ سَأَلُوهُ عَنْ ثَلَاثِ قَبَائِلَ، سَأَلُوهُ عَنْ بَنِي عَامِرٍ، فَقَالَ: جَمَلٌ أَزْهَرُ، يَأْكُلُ مِنْ أَطْرَافِ الشَّجَرِ، وَسَأَلُوهُ عَنْ غَطَفَانَ، فَقَالَ: زَهْرَةٌ تَنْبُعُ مَاءً، وَسَأَلُوهُ عَنْ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ، فَقَالَ: هَضْبَةٌ حَمْرَاءُ، لَا يَضُرُّهُمْ مَنْ عَادَاهُمْ وَقَالَ النَّاسُ فِيهِمْ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: أَبَى اللهُ لِبَنِي تَمِيمٍ إِلَّا خَيْرًا؛ هُمْ ضِخَامُ الْهَامِ، رُجَّحُ الْأَحْلَامِ، ثُبَّتُ الْأَقْدَامِ، أَشَدُّ النَّاسِ قِتَالًا لِلدَّجَّالِ، وَأَنْصَارُ الْحَقِّ فِي آخِرِ الزَّمَانِ

✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ was asked about the tribes of the Arabs. He said: He was distracted from them that day, or they were distracted from him, except that they asked him about three tribes. They asked him about Banu Amir, and he said: A bright camel that eats from the edges of trees. They asked him about Ghatafan, and he said: A flower that gushes water. They asked him about Banu Tamim, and he said: A red hill; those who oppose them will not harm them. And the people said about them, then the Prophet ﷺ said: God has refused for Banu Tamim anything but good. They are large-headed, sound in judgment, firm-footed, the strongest of people in fighting the Dajjal, and the supporters of truth at the end of time.
