Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The safety of the people of the earth from drowning is the bow (perhaps meaning the appearance of the rainbow), and the safety of the people of the earth from discord is loyalty to Quraysh. Quraysh are the people of Allah. When any tribe of the Arabs opposes them, they will become the party of Iblis."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir and al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, though his wording is: "The safety of my Ummah from discord." In one narration the wording is: He said: "Quraysh are the people of Allah." He said this three times. Its chain contains Khulayd bin Da'laj, who is da'if (weak).
