The authentic collection...
:
"I have loved the people of the tribe of Bani Tamim, ever since I heard three things the Messenger of Allah said about them. I heard him saying, 'These people (of the tribe of Bani Tamim) would stand firm against the Dajjal.' When the charitable gifts from that tribe came, the Messenger of Allah said, 'These are the charitable gifts of our folk.' A'ishah had a slave girl from that tribe, and the Prophet said to A'ishah, 'Manumit her, as she is a descendant of Ishmael.'"

"Say nothing but good of the Bani Tamim, for they indeed are the severest of people in attacking the Dajjal."
