عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”إِنَّ لِكُلِّ قَوْمٍ مَادَّةً وَإِنَّ مَوَادَّ قُرَيْشٍ مَوَالِيهِمْ“
It is narrated from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Every nation has some supporters; the supporters of the Quraysh are their allies (or slaves).
