عَنْ خُبَيْبِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أَبِي الْهُذَيْلِ، قَالَ: كَانَ عَمْرُو بْنُ الْعَاصِ يَتَخَوَّلُنَا، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ وَائِلٍ: لَئِنْ لَمْ تَنْتَهِ قُرَيْشٌ لَيَضَعَنَّ اللَّهُ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ فِي جُمْهُورٍ مِنْ جَمَاهِيرِ الْعَرَبِ سِوَاهُمْ، فَقَالَ عَمْرُو بْنُ الْعَاصِ: كَذَبْتَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ”قُرَيْشٌ وُلَاةُ النَّاسِ فِي الْخَيْرِ وَالشَّرِّ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ.“

Upon hearing this, Sayyiduna Amr bin Al-Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: You are wrong. I myself heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say that whether it is a good deed or a bad one, in every matter until the Day of Judgment, the Quraysh will remain the leaders of the people.
